Microsoft 365 Administrator — Question 193

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.

You plan to use a third-party protection service to scan email messages before they are delivered to Microsoft 365.

You configure a mail flow rule to bypass spam filtering for incoming messages.

Which two messages will still be scanned by Microsoft 365 and cannot be bypassed by the mail flow rule? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. a message that contains malware
• B. a high-confidence phishing message
• C. an encrypted message
• D. a message that includes HTML code
• E. a messages that includes URL links

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B because messages containing malware and high-confidence phishing messages are automatically scanned by Microsoft 365 regardless of any mail flow rules. Other options, such as encrypted messages or those including HTML code or URL links, may not trigger the same mandatory scanning protocols.
