How much emails can the SOPHOS Email Appliance hold for specific duration of time?

Here's a scenario:

Is it possible to have the SEA hold all messages and execute a manual release instead?  If so, for how long before we start to lose messages and how many messages max can it keep on hold?

  • Hi Bobby,

    Can you clarify what you mean by hold all messages?  Are you going to be quaranting the message and then releasing them on a need basis?  The quarantine works in two different ways.  Quarantine messages are stored for a max of 30 days, however, if your quarantine partition reaches above 90%, then the system will begin to purge and archive the messages.  It will backup if you have configured an FTP server, if not they will expire.
