    See below the following selections for the answer:

    First Filter: Content Filter -> International Spam
    Second Filter: Content Filter -> International Spam

    Both selections represent the correct answer for this question.

    Filter based on language is only in Content Filter and not in Connection Filter.
    Filter based on country or region of origin is only in Content Filter and not in Connection Filter.

  2. Justin Thompson says:

    The “Content Filter” option has since been renamed to “Spam Filter” and in the international spam setting there are two sections:

    -Filter email messages written in the following language
    -Filter email messages sent from the following countries or regions

    The requirement is “You need to configure Microsoft Exchange Online Protection to filter messages based on language content and IP address of the country or region or origin”. The “Content Filter” option with the international spam configured for a specific language satisfies half the request, but it doesn’t filter based on IP address. The question is confusing because the international spam option does allow filtering based on a country code, but that isn’t an IP range. For the second requirement we need to go to the Connection Filter -> Blocked IP Addresses as Jason mentions above, even though I would use a country code.

    1. Spam Filter, International Spam
    2. Connection filter, IP Block List

      I can’t believe I’m going to say this because Justin Thompson is the Michael Jordan of test taking, but I think he is wrong on this one.

      The disagreement comes on the 2nd option which I believe is the following:

      Content Filter (Spam Filter), International Spam

      My reasoning behind this is due to a single sentence:

      “You need to configure Microsoft Exchange Online Protection to filter messages based on the language content and IP addresses of the country or region of origin.”

      So the first requirement is to filter based on language content and that one is easy, but the second option gives you a choice. IP addresses OR region of origin. That sentence is key because you can simply configure that in the same “International Spam” section as the first requirement.

      So my answer is:

      Content Filter(Spam Filter)/International Spam Filter
      Content Filter(Spam Filter)/International Spam Filter

        Actually, Justin is right “as always” as the sentence is:

        “You need to configure Microsoft Exchange Online Protection to filter messages based on the
        language content AND IP addresses of the country or region of origin.”

        So, it actually needs to satisfy both.

  3. Andres Martinez says:

    I do not agree with Justin just for one reason, the answer area states two options, “Filter messages based on language”, and “Filter messages based on COUNTRY or REGION of origin”, which is also done from the Spam filter menu. Right answer should be Content filter and International spam for both.

  4. J B says:

    It comes down to how the “countries and regions” part of International Spam works. Does it block by IP address (via a list that Microsoft maintains of IP address of countries) or does it block by something else, maybe TLD of domains–does it block Canada by blocking anything from a .cn address?

    I’m going with Content Filter for both since I think Microsoft is trying to throw us off by putting “IP” in there. Say you wanted to actually block all the IP addresses of a country, South Korea, for instance. Is it practical to block that with a Connection Filter block list?

    Anyway, since Content Filter is now Spam Filter, this question might not even be on the current exam.

    1. Andres Martinez says:

      Agree with you. Plus, in the answer section the second option reads “Filter messages based on country or region of origin”. For me, the proposed answer is correct.

        I agree too.
        Even in the “new” SPAM Filter (ex content filter), you can choose both options:
        -“Filter email messages written in the following languages”
        -“Filter email messages sent from the following countries or regions”

        I think the proposed answer is right.
        But, I still get unsure, because of the way Microsoft questions are usually set and the typical answers awaited…
