If I understood your mail, you are the recipient and you are behind the set of 
IronPorts. EUQ sends notification if configured in the policies to those 
recipients whenever there is quarantined email. In principle, if you have 
access to the quarantine which may or may not request for authentication 
depending how it is configured it should in principle show you at least some 
relevant info for each message if not the whole content.



It wouldn't be the first time I see crafted email to appear as sent by internal 
systems such as the EUQ. 



The EUQ do not ask for confirmation whether the sender is really sending a 
message or not but may need some feed back to release a quarantined message.

EUQ messages to recipients list the quarantined messages and may offer release. 
Depending on the privileges you may or may not see details of the quearantined 
messages. 



If you may need some insight or details, please let me know, I would gladly 
help. I have several years of experience with IronPort.

Subject: [mailop] Cisco Ironport asking RECIPIENT if their customer is sending 
spam?



Hi Gang

I just got a very strange email:

Received: from localhost by sma1.hc682-83.smtpi.com;
 01 Jun 2026 00:42:37 +0530
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Message-Id: <f2f95b$9441932= mailto:[email protected] >
From: =?utf-8?q?Cisco Reporting?= < mailto:[email protected] >
Sender: mailto:[email protected] 
To: panizzon@XXXX
Date: 01 Jun 2026 00:42:37 +0530
Subject: IronPort Spam Quarantine Notification

In the email, there is a link leading to:
https://dh657-euq1.smtpi.com/Message  which again is operated by Cisco.

Which shows an email (clearly a phishing email claiming to originate
from DHL) in quarantine to my email address. On the top right I am
greeted as a user, but when I try to log in for 'advanced remediation'
I need to enter a password for my email address I don't know and there
is no password recovery option.

I found no way to display the email headers of that email in quarantine.

As far as I know, I did not subscribe to such a service.

But the sending email address: mailto:[email protected]  has no
MX but the IP points to cisco.

So to me it looks like this is a fraudulent cisco customer trying to
send me spam via the cisco infrastructure, cisco noticing this is spam
and asking the RECIPIENT to confirm their customer is sending spam?

But the actions don't make sense, I can only release the email (I
suppose I would get it) or delete the email. There is no 'report as
spam' button unless it is hidden behind the 'advanced' link which needs
me to log-in with my alleged cisco account.

I am inclined to consider this quarantine notification itself to be
spam.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen
