I am trying to create a new email spam policy to prevent spam emails from reaching my users email.

we use O365 mail service for our corporate email.

where do I place this policy ?

I currently have a LAN to WAN policy for users to access Internet.

should I create a new FW rule from LAN to WAN for O365 email service specifically ??

    Hi,

     

    Create a new 'Spamfilter' or 'Emailfilter' profile under 'Security Profiles' and apply this profile on WAN to LAN firewall policy, this will be for incoming emails, if you would like to apply the profile for outgoing then you need to apply the  profile on LAN to WAN policy.

     

    Kindly refer the below document
