Blocking or Unblocking a Sender

Users can manage messages and senders and, at their discretion, can:

  • Block a sender – this blocks a specific sender; subsequent e-mails will be automatically delivered to the Junk folder
  • Never block the sender – in the future, no e-mails from this sender or this domain will be delivered to the Junk Mail folder

Outgoing Mail Limits

How to Report an Issue

Junk Mail

If a user in the MS365 environment reports undetected spam in their inbox (or if an administrator identifies it through their own observation), the following steps will be taken:

  • Verify whether the e-mail is demonstrably spam
  • If it is verifiably spam, the e-mail will be reported to MS365, thereby reducing future misclassifications
  • In cases of serious concern, the specific e-mail will be moved to the Spam folder for all affected users within MS365
