Releasing the Quarantined Content

When quarantined content is released, it is sent to the intended recipients
without any further processing. You might need to do this, for example, to
deliver a password-protected archive from the quarantine to the recipient.
In the example below the quarantined message is searched for by using
the Quarantine ID as the search criteria. The Quarantine ID is included in
the notification message delivered to the user.
WARNING: Releasing quarantined content entails a security
risk, because the content is delivered to the recipient without
being scanned.
If you need to release a quarantined message, it is done as follows:
1. Select the F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange tab and the
Quarantine page.
2.
Enter the Quarantine ID of the message in the Quarantine ID field.
3.
Click Query.
4.
When the query is finished, the query results page is displayed. Click
the Release button to release the displayed quarantined content. The
Release Quarantined Content dialog opens.
5.
Specify whether you want to release the content to the original
recipient or specify an address where the content is to be forwarded.
It may not be legal to forward the e-mail to anybody else than
the original recipient.
6.
Specify what happens to the quarantined content after it has been
released by selecting one of the Action after release options:
Leave in the quarantine
Delete from quarantine
7.
Click Release. The content is now delivered to the recipient.
