Preset policies have suddenly started notifying users of quarantined messages

The only way I've found to prevent users from being notified about quarantined messages is to disable the "Standard Protection" policy:
Once you do that, your custom policies are now the priority and the other policies go back into effect:
It's a "use at your own risk" scenario, which is unfortunate. I think it will also lower your Microsoft "Secure Score" if that's a metric you track. I'm still doing some reading to see if it affects any other components of the M365 Security system.
I would strongly prefer to be able to use Microsoft's recommended Standard or Secure preset security policies without having to worry that the end users will undermine the whole thing by releasing malicious messages into their mailboxes, but that isn't currently possible. 😞
kleveille The other solution I found is that continuing to use O365 was becoming a liability. From the wide onmicrosoft.com domain allowing bots to spam us and flooded my users with these unwanted messages we moved our entire operation to GSuite. It's cut my operation costs to maintain email by at least half and not getting nearly as much spam from Microsoft's own domains.
- The most silly thing about this change has been that now I have end users emailing me asking about whether the quarantine notification emails they've suddenly started receiving are spam!
I'm tempted to say yes... we'll see.
