Send mail quarantine reports - scheduled task

Mail Quarantine reports are notification emails sent to selected users and administrators to inform them about their email messages that were quarantined by ESET Mail Security. Reports contain links that enables you, as well as users who receive the Mail Quarantine reports, to delete or release (deliver) false positive (FP) email message directly. Delivery of certain messages that were filtered out by rules or put into Mail Quarantine by Antivirus protection is not permitted for regular users.

There are two types of the Mail Quarantine reports: user and administrator. The administrator report contains messages for all users (the whole quarantine). The user Mail Quarantine report contains only specific user's messages as configured in the scheduled task.


example

To start sending quarantine reports, create a scheduled task (Tools > Scheduler > Add task) and choose Send mail quarantine reports or Send mail quarantine administrator reports task type. When selecting recipients, linked mailboxes are included in the list of available mailboxes.

The Send mail quarantine reports / Send mail quarantine administrator reports task sends a Mail Quarantine report via email according to the specified scheduled task. An example of a user Mail Quarantine report:

idh_scheduler_task_qreports_user

The Mail Quarantine report also contains a link to the User Mail Quarantine Web interface (opens online viewer).


note

Send mail quarantine reports task is available only when you are using Local quarantine. You will not be able to use it with Quarantine mailbox and MS Exchange quarantine.

Sender address

Specify an email address which to display as a sender of the Mail Quarantine report.

Max count of records in report

You can limit the number of entries per report. Default count is set to 50.

Recipients

note

Mail quarantine report will only be sent if there are quarantined messages. If the quarantine is empty or there are no new items since the last report, the report will not be sent. When the Mail quarantine report is sent, it will contain only newly added items since the last report (not the whole quarantine content).
