About Disabling the External Spam Quarantine

If you disable the spam quarantine:

  • If messages are present in the spam quarantine when it is disabled, you can opt to delete all of the messages.
  • Any mail polices set to quarantine spam or suspected spam will instead be set to deliver the message. You may need to adjust mail policies on the Email Security appliance.

  • To completely disable an external spam quarantine, disable it on both the appliance and the Security Management appliance .

Disabling an external spam quarantine on the appliance only does not delete the external quarantine or its messages and data.
