   Due to a Gmail limitation, SaaS Security generates two Email DLP logs (ManageConfigurationSaaS SecurityData SecurityLogsEmail DLP Logs) when a quarantined email is allowed. The first Email DLP log describes the initial outbound email blocked by Email DLP. The second Email DLP log describes the allowed outbound email that is sent back to Enterprise DLP to add x-panw-inspected: true and x-panw-action: monitor to the email header before it continues on its path to the intended recipient.
