. You are the Microsoft Exchange Online administrator.
In the last week, employees have reported that they are receiving non-delivery report messages from other companies. The employees have not sent messages to recipients within those companies.
You nee
d to prevent non-delivery report messages from reaching employees.
Which content filter option should you turn on in the Exchange admin center?
A. NDR backscatter
B. Conditional Sender ID filtering: hard fail
C. SPF record: hard fail
D. Block all bulk
email messages
Explanation:
The non-delivery report messages the users are receiving are the result of Backscatter.
Backscatter is the automated bounce messages that are sent by mail servers, typically as a result of incoming spam. Because Excha
nge Online Protection (EOP) is a spam filtering service, email messages sent to nonexistent recipients and to other suspicious destinations are rejected by the service. When this happens, EOP generates a non-delivery report (NDR) message and delivers it ba
ck to the -sender.- Because spammers frequently use a forged or invalid -From- address in their messages, the sender address to which the NDR is sent may result in a backscatter message.
