+webmaster's queue to remind them to clean out the mail quarantine. The
+quarantine is a collection of mails to address@hidden that are
+caught by our spam filter, and should be checked occasionally for false
+positives.</p>
+
+<p>To do so, use your RT username and password to log in to the

 The
+background of the page is color coded from blue (least likely to be
+spam) to red (most likely to be spam). To read an email, click on it's
+subject. If you find a false positive then click the "Send to RT" button
+at the top of the page. When you are satisfied that all of the emails on
+the index page are spam, you can delete them using the "Delete All
+Message On This Page" button at the bottom of the index page.</p>

+it, and mark it as resolved.</p>
