Emails that trigger a Message Rule with a Final Action of Quarantine - Company will be placed in the Global Quarantine.
Email Security users also have access to a Personal Quarantine.
Reviewing quarantined messages
To see recently quarantined messages, visit your USS Dashboard and click Products ⟶ E-mail Security ⟶ Global Quarantine.
- Choose a timespan to view from the drop-down list. You can choose to view data for the last hour, day, week or month; or you can specify your own time range by choosing Specific and using the data picker.
- Choose whether you want to view emails that have been quarantined as Spam or emails that have been quarantined as possibly containing a Virus.
- Optionally, you can click
to narrow down the results by a specific Sender, Recipient, Subject or email Direction.
- Click Run Report
For each result, you'll be able to see
- The local timestamp for the email (when it was sent or received by the server).
- The sender address.
- The sender IP address.
- The subject of the email.
- The recipient(s) of the email.
- The rule that triggered the message to be quarantined.
- The size of the email and attachments.
Managing the Quarantine for Child Accounts
If your account has provisioning rights and you manage child accounts with Email Security, it is possible to manage the Quarantine area (subject to the child account granting remote management rights) but you must use an administrator that is not associated with an existing mailbox. Logging in as a user with administrator privileges that is also a valid mailbox will lock the Quarantine view to the users own account and quarantine, therefore viewing a child account quarantine will show zero results.
