Quarantine

 

In this area, an administrator can view the list of all the quarantined emails and their headers, of all the users for the selected domain. The administrator can also choose to release quarantined emails to the intended recipient after ascertaining that particular email is not actually a spam. The administrator also can delete a selected or all the spam mails from this interface.

 

 

Tip: CASG also periodically generates Quarantine reports containing a summary of mails identified as spam or malicious that were moved to quarantine automatically. The reports are sent to the administrators through email. Administrators can configure for such reports through Dashboard > Account Management > Admin > Add Administrators or Edit Administrators. Refer to CASG Reports - An Overview for more details.
