Releasing emails from quarantine

There may be instances where you might want to release an email blocked by GFI MailSecurity which is stored in the quarantineA email database where emails detected as spam and/or malware are stored in a controlled enviornment. Quarantined emails are not a threat to the network. For example, when GFI MailSecurity misidentifies a legitimate email as spam (False positive).

Administrators and end-users can release a quarantined email so that it is removed from the Quarantine Store and delivered to its intended recipients.

To release a quarantined email:

1. Login to GFI MailSecurity.
2. Key in your GFI MailSecurity administrator or end-user account credentials.
3. If you are an administrator, choose the DomainAddress or URL of a particular network. Group Administrator role from the top-right corner Role field.
4. Navigate to the Quarantine > Manage Quarantine tab to view the quarantined emails.

6. When you find an email to be released, select that email and click Release. The email is removed from quarantine and released for delivery to the intended recipients
