Context:

  • Configured Phish Threat v2 campaign results are only showing emails as sent, despite clients opening the email.

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.
