Click to expand
By default, ESET Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Server does not store emails classified as spam in any specific location. To store spam messages in a pre-determined location, you must create either a local quarantine mailbox or an external quarantine Microsoft Exchange quarantine mailbox. All spam messages filtered by the Antispam Protection module in EMSX will be stored in this mailbox.
The quarantine manager can manage quarantine and Microsoft Exchange quarantine boxes. However, the administrator manages SPAM and quarantined email messages within the Exchange mailbox databases.
