Spam Quarantine - Notifications

[Default0815]

Hi,
At this time we only mark potential spam messages.

Now we want to use the Spam Quarantine.
Is it possible to notify the recipient without connecting to a ldap service?

[Ken Stieers]

Yes.
When you enable the spam quarantine, there's a drop down with a selection of how you want to authenticate the users... including "none", mailbox (IMAP/POP) and LDAP
On the SMA you can also use SAML

OK, Thank you.
We don't want to Enable End-User Quarantine Access.
We only want the spam notification to all recipients.
If we configure the Notification for all users, we must configure "Deliver Bounce Message To:"
But that will result in no one getting a notification, right?

We want to quarantine the spam messages and notify the original recipients.

Just like content/antivirus filter do.

Probably the only option is to work with Header and Content filters.
So the user will be notified of each quarantined message.

Its not clear to me where you're looking at "Deliver Bounce Message To:"...

A

s far as notification of all spam messages to the users, you're going to fill their mailbox with as much junk as the spammers if you send a notification on every message, defeating half the purpose of quarantining that mail. 

Here's what I'd do:

1. configure LDAP to get the Spam Quarantine Alias Consolidation Query... that way for people with multiple addresses, they only get one notification (e.g. for people that get married and change names.)

2. enable spam quarantine access, select ldap, but set the LDAP config for that to apply only to Admins who may release things for users.  Its just an LDAP filter.

3. configure the spam quarantine message as follows:

a. Quarantine access: uncheck Login without credentials

b. remove the line that mentions the %quarantine_url%

c. set message format to text

Now the users get mail, in a digest, with no links to the quarantine...
