Compliance: Always mark emails from guests as “External” in Outlook
Since Ignite at the beginning of March 2021 it is now possible to tag external email. I will explain how this works in this post:
Outlook – mark External with “External” Tag
This has the advantage that it is very good for compliance. Users receive the label External in mobile, OWA and Outlook (latest version) and see that the email comes from External. This can then eliminate the need for the additional “External” header per message policy. Studies showing that tagging within an email does not have the effect it should. Users do not see and recognize that the email was sent from an external party, thus preventing a phishing attack.
