However, we do not have any estimated time frame as to when this will be resolved.īut we are in constant watch and tries to provide protection to all of our users to the best that we can. Our Product Group are aware of this and working on a fix. Once you have all that done, then you can move onto the next stage which will be covered in the next article on this topic.We have receiving reports from several customers who started receiving lots of spam emails on their mailboxes. For the items that are user configurable in the diagram, a good rule of thumb is to implement and configure from left to right, top to bottom. You will also see that a significant amount of these capabilities provide the ability of customisation.
Microsoft spam filter ending full#
Remember, what is covered here is only the first part of the full range of protection capabilities that Microsoft 365 provides for emails. If you wish to protect the contents of emails sent from Microsoft 365. However, it will also go through the DLP policy: The main one is the Outbound spam filter. If we now turn our attention to outbound emails and work from right to left, along the bottom arrow, we see that the email has a lot less policies to travel through. Next are any Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.Īnti-spam message headers in Microsoft 365īulk complaint level (BCL) in Exchange Online Protection EOPįinally inbound email will be checked for phishing and spoofing.Īfter all these the inbound email will continue to be processed by any additional protection options and features like Defender for Office 365 which will be covered in an upcoming article, so don’t think that email protection stops with EOP, it continues with Defender for Office 365 right through to the email app on the device which will all be covered in upcoming articles. Mail flow rules (transport rules) in Exchange Online Generally, first to be processed is the Connection filtering. The sequence in which these take place can be found here: It is here that there are many policies and settings that can be configured by the user. How Microsoft 365 uses Sender Policy Framework (SPF) to prevent spoofingĪfter the Edge Protection phase is complete, any inbound email is then sent to Exchange Online Protection (EOP) for further processing. It is important to note that DNS records like SPF play an important role in helping secure email data, which is why it is important to configure them. How EOP validates the From address to prevent phishing Use Directory Based Edge Blocking to reject messages sent to invalid recipients A user is unable to alter them but information about these can be found at: These are basically policies and configuration managed and maintained by Microsoft. The first stage of a message progressing through Exchange Online Protection is for it to traverse the Edge Protections as shown above. A component of this service is Exchange Online Protection (EOP). Inbound email is received into Microsoft 365 via Exchange Online. Services for non-customers sending mail to Microsoft 365 When others send email to Microsoft 365, the following articles may help: Use DKIM to validate outbound email sent from your custom domain Support for validation of DKIM signed messages Some articles that may help on this include: This is because these three DNS records will affect both sent and received emails and should be considered the first item on your email security check list. You’ll see arrow from these three items away and further into the Internet as well as back into the Microsoft 365 service. Outside the box, on the Internet, there are three user configurable items: SPF, DKIM and DMARC. The left hand side (outside the box) is the Internet, while inside the box on the right hand side, is Microsoft 365. I’ve therefore started by breaking the Email connector from my model into two components, Inbound and Outbound, as shown above. Now it is time to start applying it directly to Microsoft 365 to help understand the security Microsoft 365 provides and what can be configured to provide enhanced security.
