Security Control
Two mail security options may
be available in your Control Panel: Quaranteen and SpamVault.
Quaranteen is an anti-virus program that scans each piece of email for
viruses before passing the email onto your inbox. It can also be configured
to block attachments with certain extensions. SpamVault is anti-spam programs designed to filter out spam before it reaches your inbox.
Both services must be
installed through their own Control Panel icons. Quaranteen is managed from the Mail Manager, and SpamVault is managed from its Control
Panel icon.
To enable
Quaranteen:
-
Click the Quaranteen
icon in your Control Panel
-
Click the Enable
Quaranteen button.
Mailbox Quotas
All users can be assigned a
mailbox quota when their mailboxes are created. You can view the individual
quota usage and limits on in the left-hand panel of the Mail Manager
homepage. In front of each user's name, there are three columns displayed:
Mailbox Quota [MB], a progress bar, and Actual Mailbox [MB].
The first column shows the
mailbox quota allocated to each user. The figures displayed also act as
links to each user's Edit Account page. The second column displays a
progress bar, which graphically represents the percentage of quota used. The
third column shows the disk space actually used, in Megabytes (MB).
-
If the quota used is less
than fifty percent, the progress bar will be green.
-
If the quota used is between
fifty and seventy-five percent, the progress bar will be yellow.
-
If the quota used is greater
than seventy-five percent, the progress bar will be red.
If quota is not set for a
particular user then the Mailbox Quota column will display zero. No progress
bar will displayed, and the third column will display the Actual used quota
by the user. A quota of zero means that the upper limit for the user is the
unused space on the domain.
The Default account will be
displayed at the bottom of the email account list irrespective of the
sorting order selected.
Total Quota
Set
is the total space allowed for
all mail boxes, shown in Megabytes (MBs). It is the cumulative value of
Mailbox Quota for all the users.
Total Email
Quota Used
is the total quota used for all
users for whom quota has been set.
