Deleting Old Quarantined Content Automatically

Quarantined messages are removed from the quarantine based on the
currently configured quarantine retention and cleanup settings. For an
example on how to configure those settings, see

for example all the messages that have been categorized as spam, do the
following:
1. Select the F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet Mail tab and the
Quarantine page in the Web Console.
2.
Select the quarantining reason, Spam, from the Reason: drop-down
menu.
3.
Click Query.
4.
When the query is finished, the query results page is displays all
quarantined messages that have been classified as spam. Click the
Delete All button to delete all the displayed quarantined content.
5.
You are prompted to confirm the deletion. Click OK. The content is
now removed from the quarantine.
Quarantined content is deleted automatically based on the Quarantine
Retention and Cleanup settings on the Quarantine > Options page. By
default all types of quarantined content are stored in quarantine for one
month, and quarantine clean-up task is executed once an hour.
You can specify exceptions to the default retention and clean-up times in
the Exceptions table. These exceptions are based on the quarantine
category. If you want, for example, to have infected messages deleted
sooner, you can specify an exception rule for them as follows:
1. Go to the Quarantine > Options page.
2.
Click the Add button below the Exceptions table. A new row is added
in the table.
