Microsoft 365 Administrator — Question 410

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and contains a mailbox named Mailbox1.

You plan to use Mailbox1 to collect and analyze unfiltered email messages.

You need to ensure that Defender for Office 365 takes no action on any inbound emails delivered to Mailbox1.

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure a retention policy for Mailbox1.
• B. Create a mail flow rule.
• C. Configure Mailbox1 as a SecOps mailbox.
• D. Place a litigation hold on Mailbox1.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Configuring Mailbox1 as a SecOps mailbox ensures that Microsoft Defender for Office 365 does not take any action on emails directed to it, allowing for unfiltered analysis. The other options, such as retention policies and litigation holds, do not prevent Defender from acting on inbound emails, and mail flow rules are typically used to manage email routing rather than inaction.
