ExchangeDefender Rolls Out Advanced ‘Reject Policies’ for Safer Inboxes

At ExchangeDefender we’ve always seen ourselves as the firewall that keeps unwanted email content entering or exiting our clients network. To keep compliance simple we never deleted  emails – if the content was objectionable we would scan it, log it, and let org and user policies choose what happens to the message.

As the email world becomes more dangerous, with AI capable of conducting social engineering scams at scale, IT teams are looking for new policies that can handle it.

At ExchangeDefender we work closely with our partners around the world and this feature is courtesy of Tommy from Twisted Networx.

Tommy is hardly alone when it comes to this issue, some businesses pride themselves on the amount of money they spend on aggressive marketing via email. Ghost resubscribes, unsubscribe pages not working, confusing UI to trick you into buying or sharing info, and endless scams are just a part of business on the Internet these days. It’s something ExchangeDefender can help you fix.

We’re introducing Reject Policies.

If you’ve identified an organization you do not want to communicate with for any reason, or if you have a network you want to keep out, or if you just want a quieter quarantine: ExchangeDefender will now reject the email on your behalf and you will never have to see it again.

For compliance purposes we will of course log the rejection in the Domain Admin logging facility at https://admin.exchangedefender.com but the message meta and any data will be rejected at the edge of the ExchangeDefender network. This way you will still be able to troubleshoot mail flow and make adjustments as needed.

We’re building a more flexible, powerful ExchangeDefender to meet real-world business challenges—and your feedback plays a big part in that. If you’ve got ideas that could make your email experience more secure or productive, we’d love to hear them.

New features and updated policies are rolling out later this fall. Stay in the loop by visiting https://support.exchangedefender.com, checking out our blog, or following us on social media.
