Note The Delete All link is not available on the Cisco IronPort M-Series appliance. To remove all messages
from the Cisco IronPort Spam quarantine on an M-Series appliance, stop sending spam to it and allow
the quarantined messages to expire.
Disabled Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantines and Mail Policies
If the Cisco IronPort Spam quarantine is disabled, any mail polices set to quarantine spam or suspected
spam will instead be set to deliver the message.
Migrating from a Local Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine to an External
Quarantine
If you are currently using the local Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine on a local Cisco IronPort C- or
X-Series appliance but would like to migrate to an external Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine hosted on
an Cisco IronPort M-series appliance — while retaining access to the messages in the local quarantine
— consider the following possible strategies:
Configuring Anti-Spam Settings — configure the anti-spam settings on your mail policy specifying
the M-Series appliance as the alternate host. This action sends new spam to the external quarantine
while still allowing access to the local quarantine.
Setting a shorter expiration time — configure the Schedule Delete After setting on the local
quarantine to a shorter duration.
Delete all of the remaining messages — to delete all of the remaining messages in the local
quarantine, disable the quarantine and the click the “Delete All” link on the local quarantines page
(see Deleting Messages from the Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine, page 4-37). This link only
becomes available when a local Cisco IronPort Spam Quarantine with messages still contained in it
has been disabled.
You should now be ready to disable the local quarantine and enable the external quarantine while
preventing new messages from entering the local quarantine during the transition.
