The email was moved to quarantine because it has an attachment that is on your current blocklist. The attachment was blocked by your administrator because it could be used by attackers or because receiving this file type violates your company\u2019s internal policies.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    The email was blocked because the sender address is on one of your valid blocklists. You administrator has either made this setting for the entire company or you have added the sender to your personal blocklist in the Retarus quarantine. The blocked email was sent by an unwelcome or even fraudulent sender.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

        \n
        \n
        \n
        \n
        This email was classified as suspicious or potentially fraudulent because the sender's email address could be fake. CxO Fraud emails (also known as \u201cmanagerial impersonation\u201d) send fake instructions from someone posing as a manager typically asking you to make a payment or transfer money.<\/p>\n

        For your protection, the message was moved to quarantine. Never reply to the email in question. When in doubt, contact the indicated sender by phone to verify the contents of the message.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

          \n
          The DKIM signature (DomainKeys Identified Mail \u2013 a method for verifying the identity of the sender) for this email is invalid. Either the sender could not be verified, meaning the email could be fraudulent, or the contents of the email were modified during transmission. The origins or content of the email were categorized as questionable and the message was moved to quarantine for security purposes.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

                If there is an unusually high number of NDRs (non-delivery report, bounce message), security mechanisms, which caused this email to be blocked, are triggered automatically. This prevents what are known as backscatter effects to occur, which result in an enormously high number of undeliverable emails.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

                    The email was moved to quarantine due to suspected phishing.<\/p>\n

                    Criminals use phishing links to access confidential data such as passwords or to spread malware. Phishing emails and the website links within them, are often created by scammers to look very much like the original (e.g. messages from banks, telecommunication providers, authorities, email servers, or online shops), down to the very last detail.<\/p>\n

                    Never click on the links in such emails, even if they appear to be legitimate. Never, under any circumstances, reply to these emails and never disclose any personal data, even if requested.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

                        The email was categorized as spam, in other words, as an unwelcome or potentially harmful advertisement, and moved to quarantine. It was classified as spam and assigned a spam probability through use of numerous automated analyses and based on various, continuously updated data sources.<\/p>\n

                        Your administrator can define the \u201csensitivity\u201d of the spam identification feature. However, people have different perceptions and definitions of when an email should be categorized as spam. Users can use blocklists and allowlists to make personal email quarantine settings, block specific email senders, or remove them from the spam filter.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
