How to block image only spam in outlook?
Keywords aren’t working as any text that appears in the “from” or “subject” field, or message body, is encoded, and/or the body is just an embedded image hosted on a random rotating website. The email domains rotate every single email (they are all just random word + random word @ random word + random word . com) The spam filter is catching them and moving them to junk but I’d like to know if there’s a way to block them or delete them so I don’t even have to see them. I receive so many of these daily from affiliate marketers for the same companies: National Debt Relief, Optima Tax, TruGreen, Amerisave, First American Home Warranty, Thermivest, Keranique, Orangetheory, Miracle Sheets, eHarmony, Empire Today, VSP Vision Plans, Canvas Prints, Jacuzzi Bath Remodel, AARP, Blissy, Healthcare.com, Debt Relief, Life Line Screening, Leaf Filter, JG Wentworth. I never want to see the names of any of these companies in any folder in my email again. Is this possible or am I going to have to go through the hellish process of starting a new email and moving everything over?
Sending emails using python SMTP from gmail to outlook being blocked
I am trying to send emails from my domains mailbox which is google based but it is being blocked with the following error: 450 4.7.26 Service does not accept messages sent over IPv6 [2607:f8b0:4864:20::f2e] unless they pass either SPF or DKIM validation (signature failure). Emails being sent to outlook if they are received are frequently ending up in the junk folder. I have a paid service so all users receiving emails from my platform are expecting these emails and I'm almost only having this issue with outlook, is there anything i can do from my end so that outlook stops flagging my emails to my customers?
Classic Exchange Admin Center loses Spam Filter Control
Apparently yesterday MS removed the "Protection" center from the Exchange admin center. This was moved to the Microsoft 365 Defender page. Under the original section you could add multiple email addresses and domains at once, either separated by a semi-colon or having them on their own lines. In the new spam filter section you cannot add multiple at a time. You have to add everything 1 at a time. This is very annoying because I regularly have to add 10-15 at a time. This is causing me a major time burden and I have to do each 1 individually for email address and then again for domain. It would we great if this could be fixed to either allow comma, semi-colon, or line separated additions at once. I think this should be a very easy fix, or if its complicated, allow the Protection tab to be access from the Exchange admin console until a fix is in place. Cheers, TimMail loop between spam filter and 365
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had seen this before. We have our own spam filter cluster that emails go through before being sent on to 365. When emailing from our company domain (365 hosted) to another 365 hosted customer domain we receive an NDR from our spam filter stating that: Remote Server returned '554 5.4.0 Error: too many hops' These are two completely separate 365 tenancies, both have the same mail flow of going out of 365, to our spam filter back to 365. My customer emails don't get this too many hops error but I do when emailing them? Looking at the header analysis I can see the Outlook host sending the message straight back to our spam filter cluster, step 8 - 9, which the spam filter tries to send it back to 365 again, getting stuck in a loop until the too many hops count has been reached. Completely stumped and Microsoft support has thus far not helped. Kind regards, Tim Earl
Valid email sent to group identified as SPAM and sent to Account Junk Folder
I have a group set up to accept email from external senders, and to forward the email to group members. However, the email is coming in, then being directed to the junk folder of the administration account, and not going to the inbox of the that account or the testuser account (both legitimate mailboxes.) What the heck is happening? Here's the trace information: Sender: cxxxxxxy@gmail.com Recipient: axxxxx@nxxxxx.ca Received -> Processed -> Delivered Status: The message was forwarded to the Inbox folder of the following address:<br/><br/><b>Redirected to:</b> axxxxx@nxxxxx.ca Date (UTC) | Event | Detail | ------------------------------------ 4/24/2021, 8:23 PM | Receive | Message received by: YQXPR01MB4278.CANPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM using TLS1.2 with AES256 4/24/2021, 8:23 PM | Expand DL | The message was sent to a distribution list (DL) that was expanded to the recipients of the DL. 4/24/2021, 8:23 PM | Redirect | The message was directed to axxxxx@nxxxxx.ca. 4/24/2021, 8:23 PM | Spam | No detail information available. 4/24/2021, 8:23 PM | Redirect | The message was directed to axxxxx@nxxxxx.ca. 4/24/2021, 8:23 PM | Spam | No detail information available. 4/24/2021, 8:23 PM | Deliver | The message was delivered to the Junk Email folder.

Outbound Spam Filter Policy
So I'm trying to configure an outbound Spam filter Policy to prevent a user from always getting thrown in the Restricted Users bin. The Policy I created was very standard and I want it to apply to the user in the screenshot However once it is created it looks as if the Custom outbound Spam policy only applies to users who are recipients of the sending user in the tenant. (internal to internal communication within the tenant) I want this policy to apply to all outbound messages sent from TU@mictestacc123.onmicrosoft.com (even users on other domain) not just ones sent to other users within the tenant. Is this possible?
Office365 groups spam emails
Hi, My company recently experienced a spear phising attack. Luckily, we discovered it before anything happened. The email was sent to one of our Office365 groups and was freely distributed to all users in the group, however, it was located in the Junk folder for all users. The group's settings is set to allow external users to email this group, as it is necessary, and to send copies of conversations and event to group members. My question is if groups do not have the default spam filter? If they do, do they simply just send copies of the emails recognized as spam nonetheless? In general, I would just like to know if there is a way to prevent copies of spam emails send to the group to be distributed to its users? Best regards, Rasmus
