 This article describes the controls and notifications that are designed to help prevent outbound spam, and what you can do if you need to send mass mailings.
 
+> [!TIP]
+> If you're an end-user and your email is blocked or fails to send due to outbound spam protection, you receive a non-delivery report (also known as an NDR or bounce message). This behavior is expected. Only admins can review and resolve these issues, so contact your email admin for assistance.

 ## What admins can do to control outbound spam
 
 - **Use built-in notifications**: When a user exceeds [sending limits of the service](/office365/servicedescriptions/exchange-online-service-description/exchange-online-limits#sending-limits-across-office-365-options) or [outbound spam policies](outbound-spam-policies-configure.md) and is restricted from sending email, the default alert policy named **User restricted from sending email** sends email notifications to members of the **TenantAdmins** group (**Global Administrator** members). To configure who else receives these notifications, see [Verify the alert settings for restricted users](outbound-spam-restore-restricted-users.md#verify-the-alert-settings-for-restricted-users). Also, the default alert policies named **Email sending limit exceeded** and **Suspicious email sending patterns detected** send email notifications to members of the **TenantAdmins** group (**Global Administrator** members). For more information about alert policies, see [Alert policies in the Microsoft Defender portal](alert-policies-defender-portal.md).
