Explanation

To allow phishing simulation emails to bypass antispam scanning, the administrator should add the simulation vendor's sending domains (B) and sender email addresses (E) to the ESA's allow list (safelist). This prevents the ESA from scanning or blocking those messages. Receivers (A) refers to the recipients, not the source of mail, and adding recipients to an allow list would not affect spam scanning logic. Reputation score (C) and SPF check (D) are filtering mechanisms themselves, not allow-list entry types that can be configured to permit simulation traffic.
