Setting Up Quarantine
Specifying the Per-User Quarantine Settings
The following table describes the Per-User Quarantine Configuration settings. This section does not 
appear on the Barracuda Spam Firewall 200.
Setting Description
Quarantine Reply-
To Address
The from address used in all correspondence sent to users about their Per 
User quarantine area. Any replies to that correspondence are sent to this 
address. 
Quarantine Host  The IP address or hostname that will be sent to users in all quarantine 
correspondence for login to the system. 
Leave this field blank to use the Barracuda Spam Firewall as the quarantine 
host. 
If your users need to access a server with an external IP address and the 
Barracuda Spam Firewall is not configured with one, you need to select 
another server as the quarantine host and enter that server’s external address 
in this field.
Quarantine Default  The default state that quarantine accounts are created with. 
If set to Enabled, all new accounts will have per-user quarantine functionality. 
If set to Disabled, users do not receive messages in their quarantine inbox. 
Instead, messages are delivered to that user's general inbox tagged with the 
Quarantine Subject Text in the subject line.
To enable some users with per-user quarantine functionality (but have this 
functionality disabled for all others), set this field to Disabled and follow the 
instructions in Overriding the Per-User Quarantine Account Settings on 
page 32.
Link Domains Determines whether different domains share the same per-user preferences 
and quarantine inbox.
If set to Enabled, the same per-user preferences and quarantine inbox is used 
for all email addresses with the same name, but different domains. For 
example, with domain linking enabled, someuser@yourdomain.com, 
someuser@yourdomain.net, and someuser@corp.yourdomain.com will all 
share the same preferences and quarantine inbox. 
Note the following about this feature:
• Link Domains is a global setting. You cannot activate domain linking for only 
certain domains or certain users. 
• This feature does not work for email addresses that have the same domain, 
but a different handle. For example, someuser@yourdomain.com cannot be 
linked to s.user@yourdomain.com.
Notification Interval The interval at which the Barracuda Spam Firewall notifies users about 
messages in their quarantine.
