Answered End User Spam Quarantined/Deleted Report

    We use Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange and we have users requesting to view what FPE has deleted/quarantined for them so that they can make sure there are no false positives.  From what I've read it looks like FPE doesn't include any way to notify end users of what FPE has deleted/quarantined for them.  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to accomplish this if FPE doesn't have that feature?  Any workarounds or ideas?

    Hi,

    that's right that FPE doesn't have any option to give users access to their quarantine. You can use notifications for the recipient if an email has been blocked, but that would cause spamming of the user.

    If you want to have a daily report you maybe could do it with powershell. With powershell you can access the quarantine filtered for each user. With this information you can build an email and send it to the user, but that would be some work to write the powershell script.

    Thanks. Do any of the notification options send e-mails to users if an e-mail gets deleted/quarantined based on content filtering? It looked like it was all malware, viruses, filter lists,etc.

    Hi,

    there is no option for the content filter as there is no option for IP filter. The reason is just simple because whenever a user gets notified about a blocked message it would spam the users mailbox.
