– Only those emails
received since the previous Spam Quarantine Report are listed in
the Spam Quarantine Report.
Text – Summary
– A text-only email notification is sent to you
with a link to your spam quarantine, instead of the Spam
Quarantine Report. This option supports users with email
applications that do not support HTML content.
Text – New Items Since Last Report
– A text-only email report is
sent to you that indicates how many new emails have been
quarantined as spam since the last report and the total number of
spam emails in your spam quarantine. The report also lists the
email messages that have been quarantined since the last report.

following:
HTML with Actions
– The links Allow, Deny, and Release are
enabled in the Spam Quarantine Reports.
HTML without Actions

disabled in the Spam Quarantine Reports. Users must log into the
Control Console to perform these actions.

Report Links
From the Report Links drop-down menu, select the number of days
after which the links in the Spam Quarantine Report become
inactive.
A low value may not give the users enough time to review their
Spam Quarantine Report and perform any spam management. A
high value might increase the security risk of unauthorized access
into the Control Console using an old Spam Quarantine Report.
