Now, LISTSERV emails will go through the Spam check-in Office 365, and will not be allow listed. Previously, emails from K-State LISTSERV lists were allow listed. When you click on the spoofed emails and links, you will unknowingly expose the K-State network to viruses and harm. Spammers create spoofed emails from allow list email addresses, domains, and IP addresses, which will make their way to your Inbox.
