CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 325

An IT professional recently assisted Ann, a customer, with updating her password and regaining access to a hijacked email account. Shortly afterward, Ann notices dozens of unwanted emails, thanking her for subscribing to an organization's mailing list. Which of the following should be performed to remove and prevent any further emails from this organization?

Answer options

• A. Click the ג€Unsubscribeג€ button on each unwanted email
• B. Send the unwanted items to the spam or junk folder
• C. Deploy an email address whitelist
• D. Create domain-based filters

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as creating domain-based filters will allow Ann to automatically block or redirect emails from the specific organization, effectively preventing further unwanted messages. Option A may not be effective, as unsubscribing does not guarantee removal from mailing lists, while B only helps in managing inbox clutter without stopping future emails. Option C is too broad and might not effectively filter out emails from specific senders.
