quarantine inbox for spam

Question / Problem

How can I set up a quarantine mailbox for spam that was filtered by the Exchange Server Toolbox?

Answer / Solution

We have planned a quarantine function for the future. Until this is implemented, you can, for example, set up a quarantine mailbox and deliver emails that have been detected as spam to it. To do this, you can use the following rule:

"Mail is spam" condition. To do this, you need to set a spam score. By default, the value 5 is recommended here.

Action "Forward copy to SMTP server". Here you specify the e-mail address of the quarantine mailbox and the SMTP server connection.

Action "Do not deliver email". This will delete the original email and deliver only the copy to the quarantine mailbox. It is important that this action is listed last.

Alternatively, you can use this action instead of "Forward copy to SMTP server":

"Modify recipients (SMTP)" action. Delete the existing recipients here and specify the quarantine mailbox as the recipient.

This action is useful if the quarantine mailbox is on the same SMTP server as the original recipient.
