Deleting Old Quarantined Content Automatically
Quarantined content is deleted automatically based on the Quarantine
Retention and Cleanup settings in the Maintenance tab 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.
Open the Maintenance tab.
