    Hi, @IniobongNkanga-8038

    If you are preventing a specific user from receiving email alerts, you need to disable the alert or modify the recipient address to prevent a specific administrator from receiving the alert.

    You can try the following steps:

    1.Log in to Microsoft Defender as an administrator.

    2.Find “Email & Collaboration” in the left navigation bar, go to “Policies & rules” and select “Alert policy”.

    3.Select the policy you need to modify. You can disable this policy to prevent all administrators from receiving e-mail alerts. Or modify the recipient's e-mail address to exclude a specific administrator.
