Dashboard
Your dashboard is the home page after sign-in. It gives you an at-a-glance view of your protected domains and today's mail traffic.
The stat cards
Five cards across the top tell you what's happening right now:
| Card | What it shows | Click to |
|---|---|---|
| Held now | Live count of messages currently in quarantine awaiting action. | Jump to the held messages list below |
| Today total | All messages scanned today (clean + quarantine + reject) | Open today's feed unfiltered |
| Today clean | Today's messages that scored clean and were delivered | Filter feed to clean only |
| Today quarantined | Today's quarantine count (including ones you've already released) | Filter feed to quarantine only |
| Today rejected | Today's combined rejects — scanner-rejects + SMTP-rejects | Filter feed to rejects only |
Held now vs Today quarantined
These look similar but mean different things:
- Held now is a live snapshot of what's currently in the quarantine queue waiting for you. It goes down as you release or delete.
- Today quarantined is a count of every message that was quarantined today, including ones you've already released or deleted. It only resets at midnight.
Domains section
Below the cards (visible only to customer-admins) you'll see your domains with their backend mail server, recipient validation mode, and status. For each domain:
- Click allow/block rules to manage per-domain rules
- If status shows verify DNS →, click to complete domain verification
- Click + add domain at the top of the section to add a new one
Quarantine section
The full quarantine queue is at the bottom of the dashboard. Each held message shows arrival time, sender, recipient, score, and the reasons it scored that way. Action buttons per row:
- .eml — download the raw message for inspection
- release — deliver to the mailbox (use for false positives)
- delete — drop the message permanently
When you release a message, MxGuard records it as a ham label. Future mail from the same sender domain gets a score discount for 30 days.
