Reports on the Microsoft Secure Score improvement action Set the email bulk complaint level (BCL) threshold to be 6 or lower, part of Exchange Online Protection. Microsoft evaluates this control across your tenant's policies and Augmentt surfaces the result alongside your other posture checks.
Why:
Specifies the bulk complaint level (BCL) of a message that triggers the specified action for the bulk spam filtering verdict that you configure on the next page. A higher value indicates that the message is less desirable (more likely to resemble spam). While the default value is 7, 6 or lower is the recommended value.
