    The SMTP page appears.

Table 1: Configure Quarantine Malicious Messages

Setting

Guideline

Action to take

Quarantine malicious messages—When you select to quarantine malicious email messages, in place of the original email, intended recipients receive a custom email you configure with information on the quarantining. Both the original email and the attachment are stored in the cloud in an encrypted format.

Release option

  • Recipients can release email—This option provides recipients with a link to the quarantine portal where they can preview the email. From the portal, recipients can select to Release the email or Delete it. Either action causes a message to be sent to the administrator.

    Note:

    If a quarantined email has multiple recipients, any individual recipient can release the email from the portal and all recipients will receive it. Similarly, if one recipient deletes the email from the portal, it is deleted for all recipients.

  • Recipients can request administrator to release email—This option also provides recipients with a link to the quarantine portal where they can preview the email. From the portal, recipients can select to Request to Release the email or Delete it. Either choice causes a message to be sent to the administrator. When the administrator takes action on the email, a message is sent to the recipient.

Note:

When a quarantined email is released, it is allowed to pass through the Juniper Secure Edge with a header message that prevents it from being quarantined again, but the attachment is placed inside a password-protected zip file with a text file containing the password that the recipient must use to open the file.

Table 2: Configure Deliver with Warning Headers

Setting

Guideline

Action to take

Deliver with warning headers—When you select to deliver a suspicious email with warning headers, you can add headers to emails that most mail servers will recognize and filter into spam or junk folders.

SMTP Headers

  • X-Distribution (Bulk, Spam)—Use this header for messages that are sent to a large distribution list and are most likely spam. You can also select “Do not add this header.”

  • X-Spam-Flag—This is a common header added to incoming emails that are possibly spam and should be redirected into spam or junk folders. You can also select “Do not add this header.”

  • Subject Prefix—You can prepend headers with information for the recipient, such as "Possible Spam."

Buttons

  • Click Reset to clear all fields without saving.

  • Click OK if you are satisfied with the configuration.

Table 3: Permit

Setting

Guideline

Action to take

Permit—You can select to permit the message. Optionally, you can choose to send a notification to the end user about the permitted message containing an unknown malware.

Notify end users

Protected Domains

Subject

When an email is permitted and Notify end user is enabled, the recipient receives a custom message informing them of their permitted email containing an unknown malware. For this custom message, enter a subject indicating a suspicious email sent to them has been permitted, such as "Malware Notification."

Custom Message

(Optional). Enter information to help email recipients understand what they should do next. Default predefined message will be sent if left blank.

Email Notifications for Administrators
