[KB6147] Redirect spam email to a specific mailbox using ESET Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange

Issue

Details


Click to expand

By default, ESET Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange (EMSX) 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. 


Solution

Add a quarantine mailbox

Create a dedicated user in the quarantine Manager

Quarantined messages are stored in a dedicated mailbox for a specified user. Use the quarantine manager to view and manage items in the quarantine. We do not recommend using the administrator account as the quarantine mailbox.

  1. Open the main program window of the ESET Windows product.

  2. Press the F5 key to open Advanced setup.

  3. Click Mail quarantine. In the Quarantine type drop-down menu, select Quarantine mailbox. In the Quarantine mailbox field, type the email address to store spam and other potentially infected messages. Expand Quarantine Manager Settings, type or copy/paste the username and password for the dedicated quarantine user account in the appropriate fields.
