Troubleshooting

Having trouble with allowlisting? Please contact the team at CanIPhish for support. In some cases, endpoint protection software may quarantine emails. In other cases. if you have multiple email security solutions (e.g. Barracuda Email Security infront of M365), you may need to setup skiplisting within M365. To ensure everything is done correctly, our support team will lend a helping hand.

Advise CanIPhish that you've setup Email Allowlisting

Once Email Allowlisting has been setup, please go to the Campaigns page and turn off the email allowlisting notification.
