ESA quarantine migration from local to central

[Andreas Schreiber]

Hi,

I want to migrate the local quarantine to central at SMA without outage.

I found the following information under 'Migrating from a Local Spam Quarantine to an External Quarantine':

Consider the following possible strategies:
Configuring anti-spam settings — Configure the anti-spam settings on your mail policy specifying Cisco
Secure Email and Web Manager as the alternate host. This action sends new spam to the external
quarantine while still allowing access to the local quarantine.

My question ist how I can do that exactly?

When I change under 'Positively-Identified Spam Settings' the action from 'Spam Quarantine' to 'Deliver' and 'Send to Alternate host' with SMA IPv4 the email couldn´t be delivered (port 25 is not open at SMA, only 6025)

Or does it mean to make an incoming content filter for spam with action 'send to alternate destination host'?

Thxs.

Perhaps I found a solution.

I changed at SMA the spam quarantine port from 6025 to 25 and I can now send emails to SMA centralized quarantine.

That´s a tricky one.
