Exchange 2007 - Release emails from Quarantine

Today i got an issue on releasing emails from Quarantine mailbox. After i set-up the from the EDGE servers that Quarantined emails with SCL = 7, all emails with SCL=7 are being forwarded to the Quarantine mailbox. The problem is when you select the email that you want to release and select "Send Again", it will send the email but the sender will become my name instead of the original sender.
the fix:
1). After enabling the quarantine mailbox from the EDGE, , you need to configure the quarantine mailbox in AD so ALL Hub Transport servers know about it.
This is done by using the Set-ContentFilterConfig cmdlet:
Set-ContentFilterConfig -QuarantineMailbox MyQuarantineMbx@mydomain.com
you need to run this in the HUB servers.
2) You can release the emails using OWA or Outlook.
2a) By using OWA, you will have to login as the Quarantine Mailbox.
2b)By using Outlook, you will have to create a new Outlook profile for your Quarantine Mailbox . then open the quarantined outlook profile, then select the email that you want to release.

That's it.
