Self Service - Emergency Inbox

Just started using Sophos Self Service and I am at the Emergency inbox. I have a ton of emails from my external vendor,  I have hit Allow in the first conversation. It added the vendor to the allow list. I have waited over 24 hours and there is no incoming mail into my internal Outlook. That vendor and others are still stuck in the "Emergency Inbox", is there a second step somewhere as Sophos is obviously not releasing it even though it is flagged as "allow".

  • Totally understand the concept of release them manually but what can you do beyond "allow", mainly is there a "release" button or link? - Currently we think it may be a firewall issue, we have some techs working on it. 

  • Also, new emails are also sticking there from the same vendor even after the "allow" function was set to active. So old and new are getting stuck, again it may be a fire wall issue. I will update soon. 

  • Hello Bruce,

    Just to clarify, you are referring to this Sophos Self-Service? The one for Sophos' Email? 

    If so, I might have been confused about the Release, the release is only for emails in the Quarantine Email, and the email in the Emergency inbox, is retried to be sent after a time cycle automatically, I don't recall right now (but not more than 24hrs), it adds more time after each failed attempt. 

    If Sophos Email can't deliver the email, it will try for a period of up to 5  days. Emails however are stored for 14 days in the Emergency Inbox.

    Regards,
