Question:
How do I report phishing or spam email?
How do I report and classify junk and non-junk email?
Answer:
With Microsoft Outlookâs built-in "

Notifying the IT Service Desk is no longer necessary.
Outlook Report Message Classification Options
If you choose Junk, Phishing, or Not Junk, you'll have the option to send a copy of the message along with your message classification to both the Minnesota State Information Security, Risk, and Compliance Team. This information helps hone spam filtering.
Phishing
Classification
This sends all the needed data to the Minnesota State Information Security, Risk, and Compliance Team.
You do not need to do any additional notifications to Metropolitan State University or the department or person the email appears to be coming from.
Junk
Classification
Messages that your Office 365 email account marks as junk are automatically moved to your Junk Email folder. However, spammers and phishing attempts are continually evolving. If you receive a junk email in your inbox, you can use the Report Message button to send the message to help improve spam filtering.
Not Spam
classification
If you find an email in your Junk Email folder that's not spam, you can use the Report Message add-in to mark it as a legitimate email, move the message to your Inbox, and report the false positive to help improve spam filtering.
