Sophos Phish Threat v2 misreporting campaign results

Wow, I am so sorry that I missed this ! 

UPDATE: Back then I received this article https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/131747 from Sophos Support which basically says if the Phish Threat V2 IP address and domain names are not included in the allow list, Office 365 executes the links making it appear like an end user has clicked on the links. To ensure the proper execution of Phish Threat V2 with Office 365, set up an exception for the Phish Threat V2 IP addresses and domains for both Safe Links and Safe Attachments in Office 365 and provided a link on how to set up these exceptions.

So I did this, I've now done more campaigns and the results are only showing the emails as being sent despite me opening the email, I have logged another support call with Sophos, I desperately need this working 

Please help ! I can't be the only one experiencing this :-(

Kind regards

Hi Kaylie,

Thanks for following up!

Your case has already been escalated, I will continue to monitor it's progress. Will update this thread accordingly once a solution has been determined.

Please don't hesitate to PM me directly if you had any questions or concerns.

Regards,

I have a fix! Provided by Sophos

1. Follow this artice https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/131747 to whitelist the Sophos addresses / domains within Office 365 and your spam filter (Mine is Mimecast) - Create the bypass safe links and attachments within Office 365.

2. The 'Open' statistics will not be reported until the tracking image in the Phish Threat Campaign email has been downloaded. Your current email client settings prevent the automatic download of images in emails, so this is why the 'Open' statistic fails to be reported in the Phish Threat Dashboard. To workaround this issue, follow this article: https://sophos.com/kb/127575 to which it provides this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/2252421/how-to-deploy-junk-email-settings-such-as-the-safe-senders-list-by-usi which is a Microsoft article - This isn't as clear as it needs to be, I followed it to a tea and it caused major issues having the junk email folder setting to Safe Lists Only as it made legitimate emails constantly go to users junk folders, the setting needs to be "No Automatic Filtering":

The Safe Senders and Safe Recipients need to contain the Sophos domains in, these can be imported via a text file but the text file needs to be stored in a drive where all users have access to.

I hope this helps! It has worked for me and I am so glad !

Kind regards

Kaylie
