Set all users to automatically download pictures - O365

[abillybob]

Hi All

 

Hope you're well!!

 

So we've just moved over to O365. The one thing I've noticed as we have a picture in our signature is that all pictures seem to be blocked until users specify to allow pictures from senders.

 

Is there anyway I can make a global rule in order to make it so that all pictures are downloaded automatically in an email?

 

Thanks all!!

a) why would you want all pictures to be downloaded in Outlook as it's a preventative measure

b) Group Policy can turn it on.

Actually, no, I cut my knee last night in the dark.

 

I have to echo @Boredguy here. Online hosted picture linking are a way of registering if you have loaded an e-mail, which you certainly don't want to do with spam bots or phishing schemes.

Hey Both

 

We have a separate spam filter here so all good with that, not too worried. I don't want to accept it on Outlook more so the webmail part is that possible?

 

Thank you

So you mean on OWA not Outlook.

 

Even using Anti-spam would not stop malicious code in the background when it calls an image to display though.

Unless something has changed recently, there is not a global setting to always download images/pictures for every message. You will need to manage this at the message level or add the message sender to your safe sender's list at a user level
