Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your company uses Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2. While piloting a credential-harvesting attack simulation, you find that the test messages are quarantined by anti-phishing policies and never reach the targeted users. You must ensure that future simulation messages are delivered to recipients but do not weaken filtering for regular email. Before you start the next campaign, what should you configure?
Add the simulation sender address to the Outlook Safe Senders list for all targeted mailboxes.
Enable the "Allow email from my simulation service" option in the campaign settings page.
Create a mail flow rule that sets the SCL to -1 when the sender IP matches the simulation service.
Create an advanced delivery policy for phishing simulation in Microsoft 365 Defender.
Attack Simulation Training messages are treated by Microsoft 365 filtering like any other email unless you explicitly allow them. Microsoft recommends configuring an advanced delivery policy for phishing simulations. The policy identifies the simulation service's sending domain and, if necessary, its sending IP addresses so that only those messages bypass anti-phishing, spam, and malware filtering. Adding addresses to Safe Senders or creating a transport rule could work but is not scalable and may inadvertently allow real phishing email. The campaign wizard contains no global bypass option.
