About Standalone Quarantine
Learn to install and configure standalone quarantine instances that are separate from the Symantec Messaging Gateway Control Center.
Previous releases of Symantec Messaging Gateway supported spam quarantine functionality only with a Control Center instance. Beginning with version 10.8.0, you can now install and manage a spam quarantine service as an individual functional component with its own separate role.
Symantec Messaging Gateway version 10.7.4 introduced the ability to share email content policies among a cluster of Control Centers, in which the Control Centers could be designated as Global or Remote. In version 10.8.0, a similar cluster concept is extended to quarantine services. Previously, a quarantine service could exist only in combination with a Control Center. Quarantine services can now exist as standalone instances.
The Host Configuration wizard (
Administration > Hosts > Configuration
) has been expanded to allow the configuration of hosts to perform the following roles:
- Control Center
- Scanner
- Quarantine
- All (Control Center, Scanner, and Quarantine)
