Question

An IT professional recently assisted Ann, a customer, with updating her password and regaining access to a hijacked email account. Shortly afterward, Ann notices dozens of unwanted emails, thanking her for subscribing to an organization's mailing list. Which of the following should be performed to remove and prevent any further emails from this organization?

Options

  • AClick the "Unsubscribe" button on each unwanted email
  • BSend the unwanted items to the spam or junk folder
  • CDeploy an email address whitelist
  • DCreate domain-based filters

Explanation

Creating domain-based email filters blocks all incoming messages from a specific sender domain, effectively preventing all future emails from that organization regardless of which email address within that domain they originate from. Clicking 'Unsubscribe' on malicious or spam emails can confirm an active address to bad actors and is inefficient at scale. Moving items to spam/junk is reactive and doesn't prevent future delivery. A whitelist only allows approved senders, which is far too restrictive for general email use and does not target the specific offending domain.
