Spam mail from topdomain ".xyz"

Question

Spam mail from topdomain ".xyz"

Anoniem

Dear,

In M365, some people receive many emails from different people/domains that end with ".xyz". Now I have created a policy that should block this, and the frequency of the emails has decreased, but they are still coming in. Any idea how to block this? Blocking a specific email address or domain is impossible, because they always come in with different names and domains, the only identical one is ending with ".xyz" as the top domain.

Hello Cas B,

I'm Segunfunmi, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user like you. Thank you for posting your query in this forum.

Thank you for reaching out. Based on your query and screenshot, it seems that you have set up a policy to block emails from domains ending with “.xyz” but are still receiving such emails. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

Check the Policy Settings: Ensure that the policy is correctly configured to block all emails from domains ending with “.xyz”. There might be exceptions or loopholes in the current policy that allow such emails to bypass it.
Global Application: Make sure the policy is applied globally across all users and not just to specific individuals or groups.
Regular Updates: Regularly update the policy to adapt to any changes or new tactics employed by the senders of these unwanted emails.
Spam Filter Adjustment: Consider adjusting your spam filter settings. Some email systems allow you to increase the sensitivity of the spam filter, which might help catch these emails.

Remember, it’s important to maintain a balance between blocking unwanted emails and not blocking legitimate emails. Overly aggressive policies might result in some legitimate emails being blocked. It’s always a good idea to periodically review the blocked emails to ensure no important emails are being inadvertently blocked.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards, Segunfunmi.
