Additional recommendations

• Release quarantined messages:
  • Check your spam or quarantine folder within Proofpoint.
  • Release any messages from Clozd and mark them as safe.
• Post-delivery scanning:
  • If your organization uses Proofpoint's URL defense or other post-delivery scanning features, consider excluding Clozd domains from link rewriting or URL inspection to prevent deliverability issues.
