Filtering Options

Depending on how aggressively you want to filter your email, you can configure to handle messages in each of filtering category.

To specify message handling:

Manage >> Domains >> {Domain}

1. Select how to handle blocked messages with the Blocked Messages dropdown box. For end users, blocked messages are not included in the quarantine or digest. There are two options for this setting:
1. System Quarantine — (Only available to administrators) Stores quarantined messages for 35 days.
2. Permanently discard — Immediately deletes the message.
2. For each category, select how to handle messages. For category definitions, see Filtering Categories.

 

Action

Description

Allow

Passes messages directly to the mailbox without a tag.

Markup

Forwards messages to the mailbox. When you select this option, a text box displays for text entry, which appends to the beginning of the Subject line of the message. A Subject Tag can be up to 20 characters.

Note: GoSecure recommends enclosing the text with brackets (for example, [ADV]) to denote an email classified as Junk.

Strip

Applies to attachments only. Strips the attachment (permanently deletes) and delivers the message with an annotation specifying the number of attachments stripped. Stripped attachments cannot be recovered.

Quarantine

Sends messages to quarantine for review.

Block

Immediately deletes messages.

Note: Individual mailbox users cannot override this setting.
