Working with an External Spam Quarantine

Before You Begin

• Review the information in Mail Flow and the External Spam Quarantine, page 42-2.

• Review and take action on the information in Migrating from a Local Spam Quarantine to an

External Quarantine, page 42-3.

• Configure the Security Management appliance to support the centralized spam quarantine and

safelist/blocklist features. See the documentation for your Security Management appliance.

• If a different external spam quarantine was previously configured for the Email Security appliance,

first disable the external spam quarantine setting.

Complete the following procedure on each Email Security appliance.

Procedure

Step 1 Select Security Services > Centralized Services > Spam Quarantine.

Step 2 Click Configure.

These must match the IP address and port number that are specified on the Security Management

appliance in the Spam Quarantines Settings page (Management Appliance > Centralized Services >

Spam Quarantine.)

Step 6 (Optional) Select the check box to enable the External Safelist/Blocklist feature, and specify the

appropriate blocklist action.
