Purpose of Microsoft Exchange Button
Users can click the Exchange Button to report emails that they think are suspicious. These emails might be mock phishing tests or they might actually be real phishing attacks. It is best to report any email you think is suspicious.
Using the Microsoft Exchange Button
To use the Exchange Button:
View or preview an email in one of the following ways:
- With the Reading Pane open, select a single message.
- Double-click a message to open it.
Once the user clicks the button to report an email:
- The logic in the button determines in which category the reported email belongs:
- Mock phish: A mock phishing email sent by Security Awareness Training
- Internal: An email from an internal domain, based on your button configuration;
- Something else: An email that is neither a mock phish, nor from an internal domain. These are the most likely to be actual phishing messages.
- The reported email is forwarded, sent from the reporting user’s email account, to the administrative email address you configured.
- Based on the configuration, the user might see a message thanking them for the report. This message is inline, within the body of the email, so the user might not see the message, especially if the message is automatically deleted. This is what the messages look like
- while the email is being reported
- after the report has completed
- while the email is being reported
- Depending on the configuration, the message may or may not be deleted. Administrators can choose not to delete reported emails if they come from an internal email address.
