It was announced on Thursday that Microsoft is now rolling out this feature globally in Office 365. From 10 reply to anyone on a scale of 5000 people within the hour (60 minutes) you will get the notification below.
EOP - Exchange Online Protection
Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is the cloud-based filtering service that helps protect your organization from spam and malware. EOP is included in all Microsoft 365 organizations with Exchange Online mailboxes.
EOP is available in the following 2 scenarios:
- In a standalone scenario, EOP provides cloud-based email security for your on-premises Exchange organization or for any other on-premises SMTP email solution.
- In a hybrid deployment: EOP can be configured to protect your email environment and handle email routing when you have a mix of on-premises and cloud mailboxes.
In these scenarios, EOP can simplify the management of your e-mail environment and ease many of the burdens associated with maintaining on-premises hardware and software. The rest of this topic explains how EOP works in standalone and hybrid environments.
