How the transport protection works

The transport protection acts on the whole message, as follows:

  1. If the protection detects malware or a suspicious file in a message, it moves the whole messages to quarantine, regardless of the action to take. These messages are kept in quarantine for as long as is set by .

  2. If a message is moved to quarantine, a notification will be sent to the message recipients with the subject of the original message and a warning indicating that the message has been moved to quarantine and they must contact their administrator if they want to retrieve it.

  3. If restored from quarantine, the email will be restored to the recipient’s mailbox. If a problem occurs during the restore process, the message is directly moved to the Lost&Found folder, where a file will appear with the name of the message subject. This file contains the whole message.
