How are messages assessed in the Hold Queue?

Messages in the Hold Queue are assessed based on analysis at each stage, which involves a comprehensive evaluation of the email's various characteristics as it passes through different processing stages. This analysis can include checking for spam indicators, analyzing the sender's reputation, evaluating attachment types, and inspecting the content for potential security threats.

By evaluating messages at each stage of processing, the Secure Email Gateway can make informed decisions about whether to release the message, hold it for further inspection, or discard it entirely. This staged assessment ensures a high level of security and compliance with organizational policies, as it systematically considers multiple factors and conditions before making a final assessment about the email's safety and deliverability.

Therefore, using a multi-stage analysis approach enhances the effectiveness of the assessment process in the Hold Queue, allowing for more nuanced handling of messages based on their specific content and context.
