Quarantine reports

Overview

SMTP server profile

Quarantine reports will use the SMTP server profile configured under Settings > Alerts & Reports / SMTP server profile to send the report email.

Not available on secondary instances

Settings > Quarantine reports (and the legacy Settings > Alerts & Reports / Quarantine Reports) are not available on a secondary instance of a scalable deployment. The quarantine reports must be configured on the primary instance.

For details see Operating/Scalable deployment operation.

Report types

Setting report type

Setting the report type is only possible at the time of creating the report configuration. This field is disabled after saving the report configuration for the first time and is not allowed to be changed later on.

For details see Operating/Quarantine reports.

Administrator reports

The intended audience of administrator type quarantine reports is the administrators and operators of Email Gateway Security.

These reports include quarantined emails to any recipients within or outside the organization (to whomsoever emails there are in the quarantine).

Privacy risk

Quarantine reports may contain sensitive contents (subject, sender) from emails that can be read by others than the intended recipients of the email.

Recipients of administrator reports can perform any of the supported operations on the emails in the quarantine report.

Risks of malware outbreak

Certain actions may release potentially malicious emails from the quarantine.
