Admin Quarantine
Admin Quarantine allows you to automatically prevent incoming messages from reaching a recipient’s inbox based on the disposition assigned by Area 1.
The messages sent to Admin Quarantine are determined by your domain settings.
Enabling quarantine by disposition is hierarchical and you cannot enable only one disposition if there are other dispositions above it. For example, if you try to enable just Spam
, Area 1 will also enable Malicious
, the disposition that sits above Spam
. Similarly, if you enable Spoof
everything above this disposition will be enabled. Malicious
is the only disposition that can be enabled without additional dispositions.
