Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C690 User Guide

The system can be configured to be self-maintaining, meaning that mail is 
periodically deleted from the IronPort Spam quarantine automatically in order to 
keep from consuming all of the quarantine space. IronPort Spam quarantines are 
used specifically to hold spam and suspect spam messages for end users. 

For more information about IronPort Spam quarantines, see 

Log in to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and click the Monitor tab. (For 
information about how to access the GUI, see the “Overview” chapter in the Cisco 
IronPort AsyncOS for Email Configuration Guide.) Click the Quarantines link in 
the Quarantines section of the left menu.

The Quarantines page shows information about all of your quarantines, including 
the number of messages contained in each, the default action (length of time to 
retain, and then the final action of delete or release), and the percentage full. You 
can edit the settings (size, retention period, default action, how to handle overflow 
messages, and users associated with the quarantine) via the Edit link (for more 
information, see 

). Also displayed is the 

status of the quarantine, including whether or not the associated security service
