Safelisting for Teams Messaging Security

Admins can now configure a dedicated safelist for Teams Messaging Security, giving direct control over which senders and URLs are excluded from detection.

Sender Domain Safelist

Trusted sender domains — IT helpdesk identities, HR system addresses, partner-portal domains — can be added to the safelist under the new Messaging Security tab in Feature Settings. Safelisted domains bypass the detection model entirely; no alert or event is generated for messages from those senders.

URL Safelist

Known-good URLs can be registered to exclude them from malicious link scoring. A safelisted URL stops contributing to detection decisions, though the message can still be flagged on other grounds.

Note: After this release, the Global safelist no longer applies to Teams. Existing global safelist entries will be automatically migrated to the Teams safelist.

These new safelist controls:

  • Reduce alert noise from known-safe senders, keeping the detection queue focused on real threats.

  • Give admins direct, audited control over safelist entries — no backend help required.

  • Ensure Teams-specific safelist management is scoped per tenant, with a full audit log on every change.
