What do I need to do?
No action needs to be taken on your part. Just keep an eye out for Spam Notifications which will come from quarantine@messaging.microsoft.com. You might receive an email periodically notifying you of messages that are in quarantine. If you do not receive these notifications, it means you have no new email in your quarantine.
What will the new Spam Notifications look like?
The new Spam Notifications will come from quarantine@messaging.microsoft.com with the Subject “Spam Notifications: [x] New Messages”.
