What you probably meant is that discarding a message is illegal
(i.e. not delivering and not notifying a sender of non-delivery).
Quarantining by itself is independent from the above requirement,
although it may be subject to privacy and data retention regulations.
Hm, I thought the issue with Germany at least, was that it's not legal to
interfere with the delivery of the message. For private e-mail, that
includes "looking" at it (such as marking it as spam, etc), depending on
the court who hears the case. I would think quarantine would fall under
that.
