Enable Warnings for Unintended Email Replies
Have a warning show up when users reply to an unfamiliar email address.
You can have Gmail display a warning message when Google Workspace users reply to someone who is not in their contacts at https://contacts.google.com.
When Contact sharing is enabled, as shown here, Google Workspace accounts’ contact info is shared among all users.
Combined, these two settings make a great way to ensure users don’t send a sensitive message to someone outside your organization by mistake.
In the Admin console at https://admin.google.com, click the Apps icon.
Select Google Workspace.
Click Gmail. Make sure not to check the box to the left; just click the service.
Select End User Access.
Under Organizational Units, select the OU with the users whose settings you want to update. The same updates will apply to all sub-OUs under the OU you choose.
By default, if you don’t select an OU, you will add your setting to the top OU, named after your domain. This way, you will apply changes to all users in your account.
You can search for an OU to find it faster if you have a large OU structure.
Select Warn for external recipients.
Check the box to enable it.
Click SAVE in the bottom right. It may take up to 24 hours to activate.
Have a warning show up when users reply to an unfamiliar email address.
Add enhanced scanning for suspicious content in Gmail for better security.
Enforce a secure (TLS) connection with encryption for emails to and from specific domains.
Set up an alternate secure route when the TLS compliance setting above fails to apply.
