Description
This guide explains how to review and manage emails that have been placed in quarantine by the security system. You can review, release, or block suspicious emails from a notification summary or the online quarantine portal.
Steps
- Receive a quarantine summary email every 4 hours from the address
quarantine@gcmconsultants.com.
- Review the different sections in the email, which categorize messages by their detected security risk.
- Read the security disclaimer in the email for important rules on how to handle suspicious messages.
- Choose an action for each quarantined email: Review, Release, Request Release, or Block Sender.
To Review a Message 5. From the notification email, click the Review message button.
- On the page that opens, click the ... option and select Preview message to view its content safely.
- Alternatively, go to your quarantine portal at
https://security.microsoft.com/quarantine. - Select the email, click the ... option, and choose Preview message.
To Release a Message 9. From the notification email, click the Release button for the email you want to receive in your inbox.
- A confirmation will appear, and the email will be delivered to your mailbox.
- Alternatively, from the quarantine portal, click the email you want to release.
- Click Release email. The status will change to "Released".
To Request the Release of a High-Risk Message 13. From the notification email, click the Request Release button. This is for messages marked as high-risk.
- A confirmation will appear. The IT department will be automatically notified to review your request.
- Alternatively, from the quarantine portal, select the high-risk email and click Request Release.
- The status will change to "Release requested", and the IT department will examine the request.
To Block a Sender 17. From the notification email, click the Block Sender button.
- A confirmation will appear, and the sender will be added to your personal block list.

Remarques
- Be very careful when releasing a message. Ensure you trust the sender and be cautious of any links or attachments.
- If you have any doubt about an email's legitimacy, do not release it and contact the IT helpdesk for advice.
- Emails detected as standard junk mail are sent directly to the Junk folder in your mailbox, not to quarantine.
- Once a sender is blocked, you will no longer receive quarantine notifications for emails from that address.
