Quarantine notification

Question

Is there a way for quarantined messages to be sent to a single user only, for all users in an organization?
Tried creating policies but no option to add a single recipient but will cover the whole domain quarantined messages

Answer 1

In Microsoft Defender for Office 365, quarantine notifications are typically configured at the policy level and are designed to cover all users within the organization rather than being sent to a single user. The quarantine policies define what users are allowed to do with their quarantined messages and whether they receive notifications. However, there is no built-in option to restrict notifications to a single user while applying a policy to the entire domain.

If you need to notify only a specific user, you may need to create a custom solution or manually inform the user about their quarantined messages, as the default functionality does not support this level of granularity in notification settings.
