Overview

This article provides an answer to the query: Can spam be recovered after being deleted by GFI MailEssentials?

Information

• After the 'Delete' action has been performed by GFI MailEssentials, the email cannot be recovered.
• When the 'Anti-Spam Filter' action is set to 'Delete', the internal Mail Transport Agent (MTA) in GFI MailEssentials sends instructions to the Internet Information Services (IIS) Queue to delete the message. Once IIS drops the package, it becomes unrecoverable. If an email has been quarantined and the 'Delete' action is selected, the email will be deleted and will likewise be unrecoverable.
