Report Phishing, Spam, and Junk Email Messages

The "Report" feature in Microsoft Outlook allows a client to report suspected phishing, spam, and junk email messages. It can allow Information Security to receive detailed information from the message that is helpful in determining the message's origin and legitimacy.

Reporting Phishing, Spam, and Junk Email

For the desktop versions of Microsoft Outlook:

1. In the top toolbar above the message, click  Report.
2. Select Report Phishing to report the email message as phishing, or select Report Junk to report the email message as spam or junk.

For the web versions of Microsoft Outlook:

1. In the top right of the message, click the  ellipsis.
2. Click Report.
3. Select Report Phishing to report the email message as phishing, or select Report Junk to report the email message as spam or junk.

For the iPhone version of Microsoft Outlook:

1. In the top right of the message, click the  ellipsis.
2. Click Report Junk.

The message will be flagged in our system, and move the message to your Junk email folder. Reporting message this way allows us to gain some insight on the origin of the message, including things like the actual source email address, source email gateway, and source IP address. This information is collected to assist us with determining the legitimacy of a message, as well as helping us search for other similar messages from the same source.
