We've recently transitioned from KnowBe4 to Microsoft Defender for our phishing simulations and I'm trying to configure the Report Phishing button in Outlook. With KnowBe4, the Phish Alert button would not send phishing simulations to the internal mailbox. However, Microsoft's Report Phishing button is sending all reported emails, including simulations, to the specified internal mailbox. Is there a way to prevent simulations from cluttering the mailbox so we only see actual phishing attempts?

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Defender portal.
Select “Threat management” > “Policy” > “Threat policies”.
Click on “Anti-phishing” and then click on “Edit policy”.
Scroll down to “Report messages” and select “Custom email address”.
Enter the email address of the mailbox you want to forward actual phishing attempts to.
Click on “Save”.
very valid question. if it deliver to microsoft, it will reenforce, but not when you deliver to your own mailbox.
However, I have already configured an address to send reported messages to by going to Settings>Email & Collaboration>User reported settings. The problem is that it sends user reported simulation emails as well as actual phishing emails. Thus it creates a lot of clutter to sort through to determine what we actually need to look into.

thats the problem, because it submit to your reporting mailbox only, hence it did not have the automated capability on the link i provided previously.

We want to know about actual phishing emails so that we can take action if needed. However, we don't want the mailbox cluttered up with 100 users reporting a simuated phishing email every time we run a simulation.
The KnowBe4 Phish alert button has this ability to only send actual phishing emails to the reporting mailbox. Is this not possible with Microsoft?
