WatchGuard Quarantine Management Server (QMS)

Off-load spam and suspect email efficiently and cost effectively. WatchGuard® Quarantine Management Server (QMS) is an automated, intelligent, and easy-to-use email quarantine solution that works with WatchGuard XCS email security appliances, or any other email security gateway. It allows messages containing unwanted content – including spam, phishing, large messages, and messages with attachments – to be directed to a local quarantine server. By providing a secure holding area for messages containing suspected threats or spam, WatchGuard QMS enables flexible control and maximum threat protection, and gives end users the self-service capabilities to adjust their individual spam thresholds.




Basic internal deployment. WatchGuard QMS is installed on the same network as the WatchGuard XCS (or other email gateway appliance).

• Incoming mail is processed by the XCS and suspected spam is redirected to the QMS.
• End users can log in to the WatchGuard QMS to manage their specific quarantine settings, select the language template for their Spam Digest message, and manage their Trusted and Blocked Senders Lists.
• Spam Digest notifications and released messages from the quarantine are delivered via the WatchGuard XCS to the internal mail servers so they can be received by the end user.
