CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 9

Recently, an organization received a number of spam emails that passed through the spam gateway. These emails contained generally the same information, but the sending domains were different. Which of the following solutions would BEST help mitigate the issue?

Answer options

• A. Updating the keyword filtering
• B. Editing the sender policy framework
• C. Contacting the gateway vendor
• D. Verifying DMARC is enabled

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best approach to tackle this spam issue is to update the keyword filtering, as it allows for better detection of similar content across different domains. Editing the sender policy framework and verifying DMARC could help with authentication but would not directly address the content similarity of the spam. Contacting the gateway vendor may not provide a quick solution to the problem at hand.
