Queue Quarantining
Queue quarantining is the process by which envelopes in the
queue are marked as being ineligible for delivery. Such
envelopes may then be manually or automatically reviewed. If
the review uncovers no problems, each such envelope may then
be delivered, bounced, or discarded. Queue quarantining
employs the queue’s qf
file, command-line switches, and the access database. Lost
envelopes (covered in the next section) are also a part of
this system.
