A quarantined email has been through Microsoft's filtering system that flags it as a potential threat to SU network security. The email filtering system then moves it to a quarantine area instead of delivering it to your inbox. Outlook blocks the sending and receiving of certain types of files (such as .exe and certain database files) as attachments. If you need to send one of these file types to an email recipient, we recommend using OneDrive and sending the recipient a link to the file instead. See Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Email Quarantined File Extensions for a complete list. Quarantined emails are still accessible through the Quarantine folder within your inbox. It acts very much like the Junk folder. If you are expecting an email from someone and it doesn't come through, it could be because it was a high-level quarantined message and will need further assistance from the Help Desk. Please create a ticket to have support technicians review high-level quarantines for the email and they can restore it to your inbox if has been received. If you find that a certain email sender is being sent to quarantine often, you can add them to your Safe Senders list within Outlook to alleviate additional steps to retrieving their messages. Junk vs Quarantine Outlook attempts to filter out junk, keeping the Inbox clear of content you don't want to see. Usually, junk mail (advertisements, contests, spam, social marketing, etc.) is delivered to the Junk Email folder. Quarantined emails usually contain potentially dangerous or unwanted messages, such as phishing emails or malware. |
