With URL sandboxing, if users click on a link within an email and that link or elements associated with that link are suspicious, they receive a warning that “The link may not be safe.”
To view details of a URL that has the URL sandboxing feature applied to it:
Steps
-
Go to and select the URL Sandboxing Utility tab.
-
Enter a sandboxed URL, and then click Submit to show the original URL and its recipient, security and policy settings. An administrator in the account that
sandboxed the URL sees:
| Sandboxed URL |
Shows the sandboxed URL entered. |
| Original URL |
Shows the original URL before sandboxing. |
| Block Policy Flags |
Shows if the recipient is allowed to see unclassified URLs. Also shows if suspicious URLs are masked for the recipient. |
| Policy Name |
Shows the name of the policy that owns the recipient domain. |
| Recipient |
Shows the email address of the recipient of the message containing this URL. |
An administrator in the account that did not sandbox the URL only sees:
- Sandboxed URL
- Original URL
- Block Policy Flags
- Recipient email address
