Release a message(es) from the quarantine spam filter

Spam messages are quarantined by the OpenSRS email filters. Occasionally, a legitimate email will be tagged as spam. You can release one or more email messages from quarantine and the messages will be moved to the user's Inbox.

Note: Users who use POP3 to access their messages do not have access to their Spam folder. Releasing mail into their Inbox will cause their email client to download the message via POP3.
