The Microsoft Exchange quarantine transport rule for hosted quarantine instructs Microsoft Exchange to quarantine and forward the email to the spam quarantine mailbox hosted by Microsoft Exchange when
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
cloud service returns a
Quarantine
verdict for an email that contains sensitive data. An email administrator must review and take action on quarantined emails after
Enterprise DLP
inspection.
Enterprise DLP
adds
x-panw-action: quarantine
to the email header for inspected emails if
Enterprise DLP
renders a
Quarantine
verdict. The email is transported back to Microsoft Exchange and forwarded to the hosted quarantine spam inbox so an email administrator can review the email contents and decide whether to approve or block the email. Any future emails with this header already included will not be forwarded to
Enterprise DLP
again. Instead, Microsoft Exchange will take the action specified in the quarantine transport rule.
Microsoft supports email approvals on the web browser-based Microsoft Exchange only. Approving or rejecting emails on the Microsoft Exchange mobile application or desktop client is not supported.

    A proper rule hierarchy is recommended to ensure emails successfully forward to
    Enterprise DLP
    .
    • The email transport rule should always be the highest priority rule relative to the other transport rules required for Email DLP.
    • Any email encryption rules not created as part of the email DLP configuration must be ordered below the transport rules created for Email DLP.
      Enterprise DLP
      cannot inspect encrypted emails.
    • There is no impact in regards to priority between the quarantine transport rules, block transport rule, encrypt transport rule, or any other transport rules that exist.
      After
      Enterprise DLP
      inspects and returns the email back to Microsoft Exchange, the appropriate transport rule action will occur based on the email header.
  7. An email administrator must review and approve or reject quarantined emails forwarded to the hosted quarantine mailbox.
