Hi,
I keep getting an 'unverified sender' message in Outlook (desktop and web app). I've added the address to 'trusted sender' and I've whitelisted the domain but still keep getting it.
The sender is 'trusted' and a reputable domain.
Is there anything else I can do on my side or is it down to the sender?
Many thanks,
Charlie

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I know a lot of people are decrying this. but MS is behind for the most part for this sender validation.
Gmail/gsuite and yahoo have had it for some time.
you can't even send email to google or yahoo with and chance of delivery without SPF/DMARC
this change was a good thing and I hope to see more like it.
I HATE this new feature. WHY???? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! That's a rhetorical question. I don't really care, I just want it to stop.
More than half of my emails are coming through with this warning message and it's not helpful at all. It makes sifting through my inbox more challenging now, as it's more visual "noise" I need to tune out. I get messages from new folks on a daily basis seeking help and now all of these get flagged. This is a HORRIBLE feature for business owners trying to manage incoming messages clients who are seeking help.
If you're going to add new features like this, the least you could do is make them optional so they can be turned off.
****, Microsoft.
Co-sign, almost ALL of my client's emails come with unverified sender message. They're all in my trusted contacts. TURN THIS OFF!!! I'm getting so sick of all the glitchy issues with Outlook and ready to move to another platform. I don't have time to run diagnostics and put up with this.
We are getting this as well, how many of you are using 3rd party API based email filtering solutions with your 365 email? Solutions from Barracuda, Sophos, etc?
Same issue here. This looks like a new thing as I had never seen this before.
While thankfully I'm not seeing it on too many emails, it's extremely annoying that even when an email address is added on the "safe senders" list, I still get the warning.
At least fix that!
This warning message is not a feature, it is an annoyance. @Microsoft please let users disable this.
