Microsoft 365 Defender - Can you whitelist sites to keep messages out of quarantine
I've been using an Exchange 365 Online server for several years, and I also support several linux servers. In Exchange, I have a rule setup to whitelist the linux servers using SCL=-1 to bypass spam ...
eliekarkafy Thank you VERY much for the information. I've added the domains to the Allowed domains list in the policy rule. Hopefully, I'll know tomorrow morning if the fix works. I really appreciate the help!
Just to follow up... Yes, adding the domain name to the Inbound Anti-Spam rule allowed the messages to bypass the defender checks. Notes for any other newbie(s) like me:
1. Home - Microsoft 365 admin center and expand left menu > Security > Policies & rules > Threat policies > Anti-spam policies
2. Display the “Anti-spam inbound policy (Default)” > Click on “Edit allowed and blocked senders and domains” at the bottom of the panel.
3. Add the AWS server domain. Enter the domain name in the field, and then click on the field created below the domain name.

DThimsen This sounds very useful, except for the fact I have absolutely no idea where any of these settings are. I use my email through the Outlook desktop app, how do I whitelist an email address?
