Will they use this to block their own “Chrome is dangerous and dumb and use our edge instead it’s so cool and safe” pop-ups?
If they could just do this to block the spam email
Yeah, what the hell is up with Outlook? My partner has an outlook email address and there’s more spam in her “focused” section than in her spam folder. It doesn’t seem like Outlook filters anything at all
My uni used Exchange Server which is just self-hosted Outlook, and I got upwards of 10 spam emails a day
If they used on premise Exchange, that doesn’t have any spam filtering capability on its own. You’d have to have a third party filter doing that work.
Exchange Online (M365, whatever the hell they decided to call it this month) does have spam filtering.
which is just self-hosted Outlook
In the context of email, the Outlook application is an email client, thought they do try to make it do way more than it has any business doing. You can have Outlook connect to any POP3/IMAP/ActiveSync mailbox, regardless of the mail server platform on the back end.
I think Microsoft decided to make the outlook.com email domain to consolidate branding, even though the hotmail.com domain still exists for people who are still using it from before.
Lol. Totally unnecessary use of technology. Simple text and image hash matching would have done just fine.
