Verifying filtering to the Spam Quarantine
If you configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to forward spam messages to
Spam Quarantine as described below, you should see spam messages when you
enter the Spam Quarantine. There can be a slight delay until the first spam
message arrives, depending on the amount of spam received at your
organization.
If new spam messages arrive for a user while that user is viewing quarantined
messages, the new spam messages will be displayed after a page change. For
example, if you’re viewing an individual message and then return to the
message list, any new messages that have just arrived will be added to the
message list and displayed in accordance with the sorting order.
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP must be configured to forward spam
messages to Spam Quarantine. If the default configuration is not changed,
Symantec Mail Security inserts
[Spam]
in the subject line of spam messages
and delivers them to users’ normal inbox rather than to Spam Quarantine.
Any antispam message category can be configured via policy to forward
messages to Spam Quarantine for groups assigned to that policy. You can choose
to have all, some or none of the available message types forwarded to Spam
Quarantine, depending on the policies set for each.
To set up delivery of messages to Spam Quarantine, see
“To deliver messages to
Spam Quarantine”
on page 126.
To verify sending a spam message to Spam Quarantine

addressed to an account that belongs to a group configured to filter spam to
Spam Quarantine. See
“Delivering messages to Spam Quarantine”
on
page 117 for step-by-step instructions on creating such a configuration
policy for a group.
