Quarantining 

Introduction 

When an email does not pass the `content check' and is quarantined 

by  GFI  MailSecurity,  the  email  has  to  be  reviewed  by  an  authorized 

person  (from  now  on  called  the  administrator)  and  then  approved  or 

rejected. 

In  GFI  MailSecurity  this  review  process can  be done in  the  following 

ways: 

1. Via an HTML email to the administrator 

2. Via an HTML email sent to a public folder. 

3. Via an HTML email to the users manager/supervisor 

4. Using the moderator client 

5. Using the web based moderator 

The advantage of using HTML email, is that the process is proactive, 

i.e. the moderator does not need to remember to check the moderator 

client.  

In  addition,  e mails  can  be  approved/rejected  directly  from  an  e mail 

client, anywhere on the network. Furthermore, it allows the burden of 

moderating  emails  to  be  distributed  either  amongst  the  managers  of 

the  users,  or  to  a  public  folder.  By  giving  access  to  more  then  one 

person to the public folder, the moderating burden can be divided. 

The advantage of using either the moderator client or the web based 

moderator  is  that  the  interface  is  optimized  for  faster/batch 

approving/rejecting of mails. 

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.
