1. If you receive an email from Barracuda notifying you that a message has been quarantined (like the example shown below), you can quickly manage your quarantine by clicking the "MANAGE QUARANTINE" button. This will take you directly to your quarantine dashboard, where you can review and take action on any held messages.
> ⚠️ Reminder: Always use caution when reviewing quarantined emails, especially those from unknown senders. Avoid clicking links or opening attachments unless you are certain the message is legitimate.

2. Signing into your Barracuda Dashboard:
- Students should use their student email: username@my.gvltec.edu
- Faculty & Staff should use their GTC email in the format: username@gvltec.edu
Click "Continue"

3. Enter your GTC4me password and click Sign In.
Next, you will be prompted to enter the 2 digit code from your Microsoft Authenticator app.

4. Once logged into the Barracuda dashboard, you will see a list of quarantined messages. From this view, you can take several actions:
-
View message details, including the sender, subject, and a brief preview
-
Release messages you want delivered to your inbox
-
Allow senders to ensure future emails from them are not quarantined
-
Block senders to prevent future messages from reaching you
You can also use the search and filter tools to quickly locate specific messages. Quarantined emails are typically retained for a limited time (e.g., 30 days), after which they are automatically deleted.
5. Once finished, click the circled letter icon in the bottom left corner and then "Log Out".
Logging out ensures that your session can't be taken over by threat actors.
