Intervention Option: Block Quietly

Available for: Incoming emails; Application Monitor

Not available for: Outgoing emails; Data At Rest; Data In Motion. However, a Block (File Events) intervention option is available for files detected by Data In Motion triggers.

Choose Block Quietly to discreetly block incoming emails or attempts to start an application. From a user’s viewpoint, the effects are as follows:

Emails

For intended recipients, their awareness of the blocking depends on the Delete or Replace setting. If this deletes blocked emails from their Inbox, the user is normally unaware that their email has been blocked (in rare cases, the blocked email may briefly appear then disappear in the Inbox). Conversely, you can configure the setting to allow blocked emails to arrive in the recipient’s Inbox, but with their body text replaced by a standard notification message.

You can also forward emails to another address and send automatic replies to incoming emails.

Applications

For blocked applications, the application fails to start up. The mouse pointer temporarily changes to 'busy' then reverts to 'normal'.
