External Email Alerts - Best practice

Dear All, 

 

We are trying to look at how we alert end users about receiving emails from external accounts and recently put in place an ability to add [FROM External) in the subject in any email originating from outside out organisation but it has caused issues with end users who are complaining about this. 

 

I was wondering if there is a better way to alert users. Happy to hear for other implementations.

      Thanks VasilMichev,

       

      We tried that but the html code that produced a yellow banner caused issues with the preview option in Outlook.
