Email Security Reminders
Think you’ve received a suspicious email?
If you’ve received what you think is a suspicious email, there is no need to email IT to report it. You can simply right-click the message and report it as phishing right from your email client.
 

Remember to look for the blue banner at the top of the email message indicating that it originated outside of the college. While this isn’t always grounds for suspicion, it’s a good indication that the message probably didn’t come from a college employee or department. Always check the sender’s email address, including hovering over the visible address or sender’s name. 

 
If you are unsure and you want IT to look at the message for you, email it@kvcc.edu and include some details about the message, but do not forward the actual message. We will view the message through our administrative console and let you know what we think.
 
Quarantined Message Notifications
You will receive a quarantine notification email letting you know when Microsoft has quarantined an email message for you. Quarantine notification emails are sent approximately every four hours.
 
What does the Microsoft quarantine notification email look like?
Here is a sample. Please note, this email is not junk/phishing. It is telling you about other emails that were identified as such. Do not mark this email as junk/phishing.

 
What do I do when I receive a quarantine notification email?
Follow these steps:

1. Verify that the quarantine notification email is from: emailquarantine@kvcc.edu.
2. Verify that the subject is “Microsoft 365 security: You have messages in quarantine”
3. Review the message(s) listed. If you recognize the message as legitimate, click its "Release" button to have it delivered to your Inbox.

• If you recognize the message as legitimate, click the "Release Email" link to have it delivered to your Inbox.
• If this message does not seem legitimate, you do not need to do anything. Messages in quarantine will be automatically purged after 30 days.
• If you are unsure about a message’s legitimacy, please email it@kvcc.edu with details about the message in question (do not forward the email itself) and we will review it for you.
