Outbound Quarantine

  • Last updated on

If you make setting changes, allow a few minutes for the changes to take effect.

Configure policies on the Outbound Settings > Content Policies page to quarantine outgoing messages that meet certain criteria. The    administrator can view all quarantined outbound messages from senders within the organization and select to delete, reject, deliver, or export those messages from the Overview > Outbound Quarantine page.

Rejected Messages

When enabled by the administrator, the sender receives a non-delivery report (NDR) indicating that their message will not be sent to the recipient.

The Reject Notification Address field under Notification to Sender for Rejected Message must be filled out with an email address from your domain; otherwise the NDR will not be sent. For example, admin@yourcompany.com.

Configure Outbound Quarantine Notifications and NDRs for administrators and senders of quarantined mail on the  Outbound Settings > Notifications page.
