Setup

You can set up Email Security via:

Post-delivery deployment

With post-delivery deployment, Email Security scans emails after they reach users' inbox.

Post-delivery deployment includes Microsoft Graph API and BCC/Journaling.

With Microsoft Graph API, you authorize Email Security to scan domains via your email provider credentials. With BCC/Journaling, you send messages to Email Security via BCC or Journaling configurations within your email provider.

When you set up Microsoft Graph API, you get access to the following features:

  • Auto-moves.
  • Directory synchronization.
  • Post-delivery response / Phish submission response.
  • Auto pull EMLs for reclassification whose disposition is "None".
  • Manually move messages to different inboxes.

If you set up Email Security via BCC/Journaling and you want to access the features listed above, you will need to associate an integration.

Pre-delivery deployment

With pre-delivery deployment, Email Security scans emails before they reach users' inbox.

MX/Inline allows you to send messages to Email Security to scan before they reach your users' inbox. You may need to update your MX records.

With MX/Inline, you will not be able to auto-move emails.

However, you will need to associate an integration to access the following features:

  • Directory synchronization.
  • Post-delivery response / Phish submission response.
  • Auto pull EMLs for reclassification for disposition "None".
  • Manually move messages.

  1. Log in to Zero Trust > Email Security.
