<\/a>Recently Information Technology activated an extra layer of security called Exchange Online Protection.<\/em> Since the implementation we have received some complaints from users not receiving emails or of emails ending up in the Junk mail<\/em> folder.<\/p>\nThis change, as background, was that our previous spam filter was not set to an aggressive level and subsequently we could safely discard messages classified as spam. Due to the conservative filter users still received a considerable amount of spam. We would like to drastically reduce spam, but there remains a larger possibility that legitimate messages are falsely classified as spam. This is why messages are not deleted, but rather end up in the Junk mail<\/em> folder where users can decide for themselves whether messages are actually spam.<\/p>\n To simplify and streamline the process for reporting falsely classified messages, the Report Message<\/em> add-in was activated this weekend to enable users to reclassify these emails as legitimate. The reclassification of the message will, firstly, be applied on your own mailbox, but, secondly, also to the central SPAM filter. When multiple users classify a specific message in the same way, this classification will be applied to all users, except where a specific user indicated a different choice.<\/p>\n The last option will send your classification to Microsoft. The feedback will help Microsoft’s email classification and threat-reduction protocols to be more accurate going forward. However, whether Microsoft is included or not, IT should always be notified of any suspect emails immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n More information on the Report Message add-in can be found on this safe, downloadable PDF<\/a>.

Gebruikers het vanwe\u00eb die konserwatiewe filter egter steeds heelwat spam<\/em> ontvang. Ons wil die spam<\/em> drasties verminder, maar daar bestaan dus \u0149 groter kans dat geldige boodskappe foutiewelik as spam<\/em> geklassifiseer kan word. Daarom word die boodskappe nie uitgevee nie, maar in die Junk Mail<\/em> folder geplaas waar die gebruiker self kan besluit of dit inderdaad spam<\/em> is.<\/p>\n Report Message add-in<\/em> is die afgelope naweek geaktiveer word sodat gebruikers boodskappe wat verkeerd geklassifiseer is kan herklassifiseer. Die herklassifisering van die boodskap sal eerstens op jou eie posbus aangebring word, maar tweedens ook deurgegee word aan die sentrale SPAM filter en as baie gebruikers \u0149 spesifieke tipe boodskap soortgelyk klassifiseer, sal daardie klassifikasie vir alle gebruikers toegepas word, behalwe waar \u0149 spesifieke gebruiker \u0149 ander keuse vir homself aangeteken het.<\/p>\n Laasgenoemde opsie stuur die klassifikasie aan Microsoft. Terugvoer sal Microsoft help om die e-pos klassifikasie en dreigmentverlaging-protokols meer akkuraat te maak. Alhoewel dit na Microsoft gestuur word, moet IT steeds dadelik in kennis gestel word van suspisieuse e-posse.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meer inligting oor die Report Message add-in<\/em> is beskikbaar op hierdie veilige, aflaaibare PDF.<\/a>Vir verdere navrae kontak asb. die IT Dienstoonbank by 021 808 4367 of meld \u0149 versoek aan op die ICT Partner Portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n [:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [:en] Recently Information Technology activated an extra layer of security called Exchange Online Protection.
