Mimecast Management in Durham
Managing Mimecast for Durham organisations, where the quarantine fills with mail nobody looks at. Policies accumulate over years, legitimate messages are held on rules written for a threat that has passed, and business correspondence sits waiting for release only when somebody telephones to ask why they have had no reply.
Why this comes up
The problem
Client correspondence is being quarantined by an old rule and released only when the sender chases.
What you get
What we deliver
- Quarantine reviewed regularly rather than left for users to notice
- Policies audited, with the reason for each recorded and the obsolete ones removed
- Digest configuration checked so users actually see what is being held for them
- Allow and block lists reviewed, since entries accumulate and rarely expire
- Continuity service tested, because it exists for the day mail flow fails
- Impersonation and attachment policies tuned to what your organisation receives

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Mimecast Management in Durham — common questions
- Why does quarantine become a problem?
- Because holding mail is invisible to the sender. A message stopped by a policy produces no bounce and no notification to the person who sent it, so the first anybody knows is a phone call asking why they were ignored — which reflects on you rather than on the filter.
- How should policies be reviewed?
- With a reason recorded for each. Rules added during a particular threat or after one awkward incident remain long after the circumstances passed, and reviewing them against what they currently catch usually retires several without any loss of protection.
- Do users see their digests?
- Frequently not, and this is worth checking. Digest emails that arrive at an inconvenient hour, land in a folder or are simply ignored mean the release mechanism exists and is unused — so the quarantine effectively deletes mail rather than holding it.
- Is the continuity service worth testing?
- It is the part you are relying on when everything else has failed, so yes. Confirming that people know how to reach it, can sign in and can actually send during an outage is a short exercise, and the alternative is discovering the gaps mid-incident.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
