Safe Senders List Via GPO - How to remove entry list without overwriting user entries

Question

Greetings,

I recently deployed a GPO to add the needed trusted domain and e-mail address to clients in their Outlook profile junk configuration via MS link below. However, there's no article that shows you how to remove the entry that has been appended other than setting the "Overwrite or Append Junk Mail Import List" GPO setting to enabled, but I don't want to do that which overwrites the user's own allowed values. Any suggestions or someone has already done something to what I'm looking for a solution on this?

Hi @VLY ，

If I understand correctly, do you mean you want to remove the entry list you have deployed previously without clearing the user's own values? If this is the case, from what I am aware of, I am afraid it's not feasible with GPO. As an alternative, I'd suggest trying to remove the entry list using the Set-MailboxJunkEmailConfiguration powershell cmdlt as it allows to remove entries without affecting the existing entries:
