Administrative Quarantine

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The Administrative Quarantine is similar to the User Quarantine. But rather than being for incoming messages, it is for messages containing viruses and outbound messages that do not pass SecurityGateway's various Security features when a given feature is configured to place failed messages into quarantine instead of reject or tag them. Unlike the User Quarantine, only administrators have access to messages in the Administrative Quarantine. Administrators can view the messages, delete them, or release them from quarantine to be delivered normally.

Each entry in the Administrative Quarantine has a column listing the date and time the message was quarantined, and columns for the sender, recipient, and subject. There are also columns for the reason the message was quarantined, its size, and its Message Score.

There are several buttons on the toolbar at the top of the Administrative Quarantine that you can use to perform a number of tasks:
