More Information

In Microsoft Defender for Office 365, we are updating the way end users allow and block emails in Exchange Online. 

When this will happen:

Worldwide: We will begin rolling out late April 2024 (previously late March) and expect to complete by mid-June 2024 (previously mid-May).

GCC, GCC High and DoD: We will begin rolling out mid-Mary 2024 (previously late April) and expect to complete by late June 2024 (previously mid-June).

How this will affect your organization:

With one click, end users will block emails from unwanted senders and prevent those emails from showing up in their default quarantine view and in their quarantine notifications. If no admin overrides exist, end users will also be able to allow emails from trusted senders and prevent future emails from those senders from going into quarantine. End users can now review admin any override reasons that lead to quarantined emails.
