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?

  • By "hold", yes, I mean quarantine..  but it needs to quarantine all emails, good and bad.  The scenario would be simulating a downed Exchange server and having SEA catch all emails until the mail server comes online.  Once it is back online, a manual release will need to be done to get them flowing thru and delivering to the recipients...

    I know you can easily force emails to be retained by SEA by just simply disconnecting the exchange server but is there a way we can configure it to do the same with the exchange server still online?  Kinda like closing the canal lock gates for a while then opening them up later when we want the ship to pass thru :-)
