How do I allow inbound mail from Email Threat Protection in Office 365?

This article will walk you through creating a transport rule in Office 365 (O365) that bypasses filtering for mail from Email Threat Protection (ETP). If you have O365 services with Zix, you can request this setup by contacting our Phenomenal Support Team. This setup allows inbound mail from ETP but it does not limit inbound mail to ETP. If you need to limit inbound mail to ETP, view this article: Limiting Inbound Mail to Email Threat Protection in Office 365
