Is there a way to have Exchange/Outlook block all messages from unauthorized senders?

Hi LukeChung ,
I am not sure what license sku you have in your tenant, but you should look into implementing Defender for Office 365. If the user is sending email from multiple domains, it will be difficult to block unless they are sending emails from a single static IP address.
I would look into implementing Defender for Office 365 (you will need Business Premium license), and then implement policies along with adding DKIM/DMARC records.
You can read about defender here.
Thank you. We have Defender for Office 365 but it doesn't seem to block emails with headers that have failed SPF. Blocking emails from unauthorized senders is a pretty basic feature of a spam blocker.
Is there a particular setting we may have set incorrectly? Where or what DKIM/DMARC records need to be stopped?
Hi LukeChung ,
do you have TXT record _dmarc set to v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=100 . This setting will send failed emails to quarantine.
Also, if you set p=reject; instead of quarantine. it will reject the messages. But I would use quarantine.
