Quarantine RSS Feeds
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a protocol used to distribute frequently updatable content or feeds (for example, news items) with its subscribers. An RSS Feed Reader is required by subscribers to view RSS feeds. RSS feeds usually include a summary of the content and a link to view the full article.
To facilitate the monitoring of quarantined emails, RSS feeds can be used. The GFI MailEssentials Quarantine RSS feed displays quarantined emails for review and enables users to approve or delete quarantined emails.
