Introducing McAfee Quarantine
Manager
McAfee
®
Quarantine Manager consolidates the quarantine and anti-spam management
functionality of multiple McAfee products. It provides a central point to analyze and act
upon emails and files that have been quarantined. Items are quarantined because they
are spam, phish, viruses, potentially unwanted programs or unwanted content.
While McAfee Quarantine Manager is effective in managing unsolicited bulk email or
spam. No anti-spam filter is capable of detecting all spam that flows through a network.
Occasionally some emails are misidentified.
Administrators and users increasingly want to tune anti-spam products to suit their
own environments and increase the effectiveness of their spam filtering. McAfee
Quarantine Manager allows you to do this.
