1 Barracuda Security Service User Guide The Barracuda Security Service is a cloud-based security service that protects both inbound and outbound against the latest spam, viruses, worms, phishing and denial of service attacks. The Barracuda Security Service web interface includes the Message Log from which you can manage your quarantined messages. Additionally, you can set account preferences based on features enabled for your account by the administrator. Permissions may include: Modify quarantine notification report settings; when enabled, you can set receipt frequency with a list of messages in your quarantine account. Once received, you can select whether to delete or deliver these messages to your address. Create exemption (accept mail from), block, or quarantine policies for addresses, domains, and users. Manage quarantine inbox delivery or delete quarantined messages. Change password. Link Accounts; you can use the current account as an alias and add additional addresses in the same domain for which quarantined is to be forwarded to this account. Welcome Once your system administrator creates your account, the Barracuda Security Service sends you a welcome including a log in link. Note that the link expires after seven days. Quarantined Mail You are notified on a regular interval when you have quarantined messages. The quarantine notification interval (daily, weekly, etc.) is set either by your administrator or, if you have permissions, you. See Figure 1 for a sample quarantined notification. Figure 1.

2 Manage Quarantined Mail Use the Message Log to manage quarantined mail. See Figure 2 for a sample message log. Figure 2. The Message Log.

3 Messages are blocked due to the following: Spam and virus policies set by your administrator for the domain; and address or domain block policies, as well as from other users, set by your administrator for the domain. Messages are deferred for various reasons. Click the icon on the Message Log page for more information as well as details on searching for and filtering messages. From the Message Log page you can take the following actions. Select one or more messages, and then click on an action, as illustrated in Figure 4. To select all messages, select the check box at the top of the Message List. Figure 4. Message Actions. Spam Click Spam to send the selected messages to Barracuda Central for analysis. Not Spam Click Not Spam to send selected messages to Barracuda Central for analysis. Export Click Export to export selected messages to a CSV file. When prompted, enter a file name, and select whether to save to your local desktop or network. Deliver Click Deliver to attempt to deliver the selected message(s) to your mailbox. If a message is successfully delivered, the Delivery Status changes to Delivered. The mail remains in the log until you select the message and click Delete. If the mail cannot be delivered, a notice displays in your browser window and the Delivery Status does not change. If delivered messages are not delivered to the recipient's mailbox, it may be due to a filter on the mail server or a service on your network catching the mail as spam. Check with your system administrator for more information. Additionally, check your local trash/spam folder for the mail. Delete Click Delete to remove the selected message(s) from the Message Log. Whitelist Always accept mail from the selected addresses, domains, and/or users. Recategorize Select one or more categorized s and click Recategorize to change the category. For example, if the message is categorized as Corporate but you believe it should be categorized as Marketing Materials, you can change the category via the Recategorize drop-down. This action submits this message for recategorization to your selected category. If you select Other and enter a custom category, the category updates for that particular message. For more information, see Categorization below. Barracuda Security Service User Guide 3 / 7

4 Categorization If the Reason for a message in your Message Log displays as Categorization, the from this sender is categorized as not necessarily spam, but something that you may have subscribed to at one time but no longer wish to receive. For example, newsletters and memberships, or marketing information. Categorization assigns some of these s to specific categories, which the administrator can decide to allow, block, or quarantine. Supported categories display in the Message Log Reason field as: Categorization (corporate) s sent by a user at an authenticated organization that involves general corporate communications; this does not include marketing newsletters. Categorization (transactional) s related to order confirmations, bills, invoices, bank statements, delivery/shipping notices, and service-related surveys.
