Creating a Connector in Exchange Admin Center

Below is a short guide on how to set up a connector within 365 to ensure our simulation content arrives as intended.

Please follow this guide if you have previously implemented the 'Boxphish Header Allow' rule in Exchange, and populated the Domains, Sending IPs and simulation URLs in Defender.

Before starting, please make sure you are a global Administrator or have the required permissions to administer 365.

6. Connector name:
   1. Name the rule as you would like, for example 'Boxphish Trusted Connector'.
   2. Leave 'Turn it on' enabled, then click Next.

   1. Select 'By verifying that the IP Address of the Sending Server matches…'
   2. Enter the IP Addresses detailed on the Boxphish portal HERE:
      1. Navigate to Settings > Deliverability > Sending Information:
      2. Select Sending IPs 'view'.
   3. Click Next.
8. Security restrictions:
   1. Enable: 'Reject email messages if they aren't sent over TLS', click Next.
