You need to prevent email messages that contain attachments that have the .js file extension from being delivered to any
recipients in your organization.
To complete this task, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Answer:
See explanation below.
Explanation:
1. Go to Mail flow > Rules.
2. Create the rule by using one of the following options:
- To create a rule from a template, click Add and select a template.
- To copy a rule, select the rule, and then select Copy .
- To create a new rule from scratch, Add and then select Create a new rule.
3. In the New rule dialog box, name the rule, and then select the conditions and actions for this rule:
- In Apply this rule if..., select the condition you want from the list of available conditions:
Some conditions require you to specify values. For example, if you select The sender is... condition, you must specify a
sender address. If you're adding a word or phrase, note that trailing spaces are not allowed.
If the condition you want isn't listed, or if you need to add exceptions, select More options. Additional conditions and
exceptions will be listed.
If you don't want to specify a condition, and want this rule to apply to every message in your organization, select [Apply to
all messages] condition.
- In Do the following..., select the action you want the rule to take on messages matching the criteria from the list of available
actions:
Some of the actions will require you to specify values. For example, if you select the Forward the message for approval
to... condition, you will need to select a recipient in your organization. If the condition you want isn't listed, select More
options. Additional conditions will be listed.
- Specify how rule match data for this rule is displayed in the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) reports and the Mail protection
reports.
- Set the mode for the rule. You can use one of the two test modes to test the rule without impacting mail flow. In both test
modes, when the conditions are met, an entry is added to the message trace:
Enforce: This turns on the rule and it starts processing messages immediately. All actions on the rule will be performed.
Test with Policy Tips: This turns on the rule, and any Policy Tip actions ( Notify the sender with a Policy Tip) will be sent,
but no actions related to message delivery will be performed. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is required in order to use this
mode.
Test without Policy Tips: Only the Generate incident report action will be enforced. No actions related to message delivery
are performed.
Exchange Online admins can create mail flow rules in the Exchange admin center (EAC) at Mail flow > Rules. You need
permissions to do this procedure. After you start to create a new rule, you can see the full list of attachment-related
conditions by clicking More options > Any attachment under Apply this rule if. The attachment-related options are shown in
the following diagram.

You need to prevent email messages from a domain named fabrikam.com from being delivered to the mailboxes of your
organization.
To complete this task, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Answer:
See explanation below.
Explanation:
1. In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com, go to Email & Collaboration > Policies & Rules >
Threat policies > Anti-spam in the Policies section. To go directly to the Antispam policies page, use
https://security.microsoft.com/antispam.
2. On the Anti-spam policies page, click Create policy and then select Inbound from the drop down list.
3. The policy wizard opens. On the Name your policy page, configure these settings:
- Name: Enter a unique, descriptive name for the policy.
- Description: Enter an optional description for the policy.
When you're finished, click Next.
4. On the Users, groups, and domains page that appears, identify the internal recipients that the policy applies to (recipient
conditions):
- Users: The specified mailboxes, mail users, or mail contacts in your organization.
- Groups: The specified distribution groups, mail-enabled security groups, or Microsoft 365 Groups in your organization. -
Domains: All recipients in the specified accepted domains in your organization.
Click in the appropriate box, start typing a value, and select the value that you want from the results. Repeat this process as
many times as necessary. To remove an existing value, click remove next to the value.
For users or groups, you can use most identifiers (name, display name, alias, email address, account name, etc.), but the
corresponding display name is shown in the results. For users, enter an asterisk (*) by itself to see all available values.
Multiple values in the same condition use OR logic (for example, or ). Different conditions use AND logic (for example, and ).
- Exclude these users, groups, and domains: To add exceptions for the internal recipients that the policy applies to (recipient
exceptions), select this option and configure the exceptions. The settings and behavior are exactly like the conditions.
When you're finished, click Next.
5. On the Bulk email threshold & spam properties page that appears, configure the following settings:
- Bulk email threshold: Specifies the bulk complaint level (BCL) of a message that triggers the specified action for the Bulk
spam filtering verdict that you configure on the next page (greater than the specified value, not greater than or equal to). A
higher value indicates the message is less desirable (more likely to resemble spam). The default value is 7. For more
information, see Bulk complaint level (BCL) in EOP and What's the difference between junk email and bulk email?.
By default, the PowerShell only setting MarkAsSpamBulkMail is On in anti-spam policies. This setting dramatically affects
the results of a Bulk filtering verdict:
MarkAsSpamBulkMail is On: A BCL that's greater than the threshold is converted to an SCL 6 that corresponds to a
filtering verdict of Spam, and the action for the Bulk filtering verdict is taken on the message.
MarkAsSpamBulkMail is Off: The message is stamped with the BCL, but no action is taken for a Bulk filtering verdict. In
effect, the BCL threshold and Bulk filtering verdict action are irrelevant. - Increase spam score, Mark as spam* and Test
mode: Advanced Spam Filter (ASF) settings that are turned off by default. The Contains specific languages and from these
countries settings are not part of ASF.
- Contains specific languages: Click the box and select On or Off from the drop down list. If you turn it on, a box appears.
Start typing the name of a language in the box. A filtered list of supported languages will appear. When you find the
language that you're looking for, select it. Repeat this step as many times as necessary. To remove an existing value, click
remove next to the value.
- From these countries*: Click the box and select On or Off from the drop down list. If you turn it on, a box appears. Start
typing the name of a country in the box. A filtered list of supported countries will appear. When you find the country that
you're looking for, select it. Repeat this step as many times as necessary. To remove an existing value, click remove next
to the value.
When you're finished, click Next.
6. On the Actions page that appears, configure the following settings:
- Message actions: Select or review the action to take on messages based on the following spam filtering verdicts:
Spam
High confidence spam
Phishing
High confidence phishing
Bulk
- Retain spam in quarantine for this many days: Specifies how long to keep the message in quarantine if you selected
Quarantine message as the action for a spam filtering verdict. After the time period expires, the message is deleted, and is
not recoverable. A valid value is from 1 to 30 days.
- Add this X-header text: This box is required and available only if you selected Add X-header as the action for a spam
filtering verdict. The value you specify is the header field name that's added to the message header. The header field value
is always This message appears to be spam.
- Prepend subject line with this text: This box is required and available only if you selected Prepend subject line with text as
the action for a spam filtering verdict. Enter the text to add to the beginning of the message's subject line.
- Redirect to this email address: This box is required and available only if you selected the Redirect message to email
address as the action for a spam filtering verdict. Enter the email address where you want to deliver the message. You can
enter multiple values separated by semicolons (;).
- Enable safety Tips: By default, Safety Tips are enabled, but you can disable them by clearing the checkbox.
- Enable zero-hour auto purge (ZAP): ZAP detects and takes action on messages that have already been delivered to
Exchange Online mailboxes.
ZAP is turned on by default. When ZAP is turned on, the following settings are available:
Enable ZAP for phishing messages: By default, ZAP is enabled for phishing detections, but you can disable it by clearing
the checkbox. Enable ZAP for spam messages: By default, ZAP is enabled for spam detections, but you can disable it by
clearing the checkbox.
When you're finished, click Next.
