Does anyone know what happens to quarantined messages that are sent after the quarantine limit has been met? Our limit is set to 1000 but that was met 3 hours ago and all messages are currently being quarantined due to a corrupt definition update. Does this mean that all messages since the limit was met have been lost...?

Many thanks

  • Also, does anybody know if there would be a danger in releasing a large number of emails from the quarantine at the same time. They'be all been re-checked and are free of malicious content, I'm just worried about flooding the server with releasing an abnormally large amount simultaneously. Is there anyone with experience of this? – evesirim Oct 22 '10 at 09:40

The default setting is that messages will be purged to make room for the new ones(FIFO). I have released large numbers in the past without issue. Naturally, the mail server receiving the messages may be loaded down for a short period depending on capability.
