Querying the Quarantine

Use the Quarantine > Query screen to view a list of quarantined messages for your managed domains. You can review messages, delete them, or release them for further filtering.

In the Dates fields, select a range of dates.
Note:
Queries include data for up to seven continuous days in one calendar month. Use more than one query to search across calendar months.
In the Direction field, select a mail traffic direction.

Type your search criteria into one or more of the following fields:

Recipient
Sender
Subject

A recipient or sender can be a specific email address or all addresses from a specific domain.

Query a specific email address by typing that email address.
Query all addresses from a domain by using an asterisk (*) to the left of the at sign (@) in the email address. For example, *@example.com will search for all email addresses in the example.com domain.

The following table displays format examples that are valid or not valid:

Table 1. Format Examples for Mail Tracking and Quarantine Query
Valid	Not Valid
`name@info.example.com`	`name@*.example.com`
`*@example.com`	`@.com`

	`@.example.com`

Click Search.
Select one or multiple messages to manage.

  - If a message triggers a content-based policy rule with an Intercept action of Delete entire message or Change recipient, it will not arrive at its intended destination.
