Email – Emails sent from senders external to your organization can be reported as spam | New

With this release, clients who receive external emails within Brightspace can now report those emails as spam to D2L. When viewing emails received from external email addresses, this feature adds a new Report Spam button, which forwards the email to D2L for analysis against our spam filters. After clicking the button, a dialog appears letting users know their emails have been forwarded to D2L. Users can then delete the email.

The Report Spam button does not appear for internally sent emails, nor for external emails received prior the release of this feature.
