Submit as Suspicious

Click to flag messages that are potentially harmful or unwanted – including phishing, spear-phishing, spam, or impersonation emails.

Flagging suspicious emails can help protect other users in your organization. Flagged messages are:

1. Open the Actions panel as described above.
2. Click Report & Provide Feedback.
   1. The currently selected message is submitted to Barracuda as suspicious and is immediately moved to Deleted Items folder, or the folder specified in your Preferences, described below.
   2. If you would prefer to submit without providing additional feedback, please click “Report this message without providing additional feedback” instead.

Set Your Preferences

1. Open the Actions panel as described above.
2. Click Preferences.
