Watchguard Quarantine Server deprecated

Hello everyone,

with the release of Fireware v12.8 the Quarantine Server is officially deprecated. Are there any alternatives provided by Watchguard?
A workaround would be to just lock the content and unlock it with the unlock.exe if necessary.
Or maybe there are better ways? I need to be able to access the content in case there is a false/positive.

Best regards
Jonathan

    Hi @schwarzenbek

    In most circumstances I suggest the following for customers:
    -For spam, subject tagging can place spam in junk folders that are integrated into their mail client.
    -For Viral or un-scannable content, rejecting, stripping, or locking that content.

    (Some of these options won't be available with every proxy type.)

    Yes, this solution works very well and we are already doing this for spam.

    -For Viral or un-scannable content, rejecting, stripping, or locking that content.

    Okay. I will set the specific actions in the Gateway AV settings to lock.

    Thanks for the suggestions.
