Microsoft 365:
A custom mail flow rule, also known as a transport rule, is a set of conditions and actions that can be applied to incoming or outgoing emails in Microsoft 365. These rules are created by administrators to manage and control email traffic within the organization.
Here are some examples of what a custom mail flow rule might do:
- Block or allow specific senders or recipients: Block emails from specific senders or recipients, or allow emails from specific domains or IP addresses.
- Apply specific headers or tags: Add custom headers or tags to emails, such as "Confidential" or " Urgent", to help identify sensitive or high-priority emails.
- Route emails to specific mailboxes or folders: Route emails to specific mailboxes or folders, such as a "VIP" mailbox or a " Quarantine" folder.
- Apply encryption or digital signatures: Encrypt emails or apply digital signatures to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information.
- Monitor and report on email traffic: Monitor email traffic and generate reports on email activity, such as spam or phishing attempts.
Custom mail flow rules can be created using the Microsoft 365 admin center or PowerShell. They can be applied to specific mailboxes, domains, or the entire organization, and can be used to enforce company policies, improve email security, and enhance the overall email experience.
