Configuring an External Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine
Configuring the Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantines Feature
You can configure your Cisco IronPort appliance to send spam and suspect spam to an external Cisco
IronPort Spam quarantine configured on a separate Cisco IronPort appliance. The Cisco IronPort
M-Series appliance is specifically designed to perform this role. For more information about the Cisco
IronPort M-Series appliance, see “The Cisco IronPort M-Series Security Management Appliance” in the
Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email Configuration Guide.
If you use an external Cisco IronPort Spam quarantine, the quarantine settings are configured on that
Cisco IronPort appliance. If you have both the local and an external Cisco IronPort Spam quarantine
enabled on your Cisco IronPort appliance, the local Cisco IronPort Spam quarantine, along with its
settings, take precedence.
Messages that are released from the M-Series appliance (external quarantine) will skip the RAT, domain
exceptions, aliasing, incoming filters, masquerading, bounce verification, and the work queue.
Adding an External Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine
