Recommended Additional Features
The following are recommended features to enable on EMS, but are not required for Mail flow.
Post Delivery Email Deletion (Retract)
Post Delivery Email Deletion is a feature of Email Security that allows an administrator to delete email that has been delivered and stored in a Microsoft 365 / Office 365 mailbox, including any replies or forwards of the message within the domain. This feature is particularly useful to delete and remotely wipe any messages that were accidentally released from quarantine or that contain suspicious or confidential data.

For more information about Post Delivery Email Deletion (Retract), please refer to our knowledge-based articles by clicking HERE.
Enable MFA for Administrator Accounts.
As best security practices, we recommend enabling MFA on your Administrator account; please make sure that you create a new administrator account with the role Agent Installer without MFA enabled to ensure you can register Agents to your Censornet tenant. For further information regarding this topic, please refer to our knowledge-based articles.
