I received an email notification that shows I have an email that is quarantined, now what do I do?

The notification email provides you with a list of emails that have been quarantined since the last notification. Under the "Actions" column, you will see two options.

1. Deliver - this option will deliver the selected email, but will not deliver future emails from the sender's email address.
2. Whitelist - this option will deliver the selected email and whitelist the sender's email address, so that future emails from the individual sender should be delivered to your inbox.

If you wish to manage your quaratine settings, click the "Manage Quarantine" button.

How do I block an email address or domain?

Barracuda provides end users with the ability to block a single email address or an entire domain. Follow these steps to block messages:

1. Within the "Message Log", click on a message from the sender you wish to block.
2. Click the drop down arrow next to "Block"
