Actions

Go to the Actions dropdown menu, and select one of the four buttons - Delete, Forward, Release, or Allow - to perform an action on the email. See further information on each action below.

Action

Description

Delete

Select Delete to delete the email you are viewing. Deleting a message from quarantine tells SpamTitan this email is spam and so this type of message is more likely to be blocked in the future.

Note

If a message is deleted from quarantine that message will not appear in the associated users’ quarantine, or in their quarantine report.

Forward

Select Forward to enter an email address and forward an email. Once forwarded, the email is not removed from quarantine.

Release

Occasionally, an email in quarantine may have been incorrectly identified as spam. This is known as a ‘false positive’. Select Release to release an email from quarantine and automatically forward the email to the recipient.

Allow

Select Allow to add the email address of an email in quarantine to your Allow List. The email address is added to your allow list and the email is released from quarantine and delivered to the recipient.

All future emails from this sender will bypass the SpamTitan anti-spam engine, but are still scanned for viruses and banned attachments.
