Abstract: Embodiments provide a system for flagging data transmissions for retention of metadata and triggering appropriate transmission placement. Embodiments receive a plurality of data transmissions represented in a transmission queue; determine that a first data transmission of the plurality of data transmissions is suspicious; and, in response to the determination, automatically flag the first data transmission for retention of metadata associated with the first data transmission. The data transmission may then be placed in an appropriate location.
