Quarantine options

You can set-up how mail should be quarantined from the Quarantine options node in the GFI MailSecurity configuration. To do this, right click on the Quarantine options node and bring up the Quarantine options properties.

Quarantine mode

Now configure who should moderate the e-mail:

1. Send quarantined mail to the user's manager: This option will send the mail to the manager of the user as configured in Active Directory. (See below how to do this)

2. Send all quarantined mail to the following e-mail address: This option will send all quarantined mails to a single user, usually the network administrator.

3. Send all quarantined mail to a mail enabled public folder: This option allows you to specify a public folder. By giving multiple users access to this folder, you can divide the moderating burden.

Note: This option only appears if you are using the VS API mode. Its possible to use a public folder in Gateway mode too, however in that case you will need to specify the email address of the public folder in option 2.

In the Quarantine options tab you can specify how you want approved quarantined items to be delivered to recipients:

Always send file as attachment: This option always attaches the quarantined item in e-mail. If using GFI DownloadSecurity, this option is not recommended, because mail could slow down if the user downloads a very large file.

Send link instead of attachment if file exceeds a number of bytes: This option sends a link if the file is large.

Always send link instead of attachment: This option always send a link.
