Managing outbound email routing is a critical component of any school’s cybersecurity strategy. By disabling the option for users to send mail through external SMTP servers, your institution ensures that all communications are authenticated and securely processed via Google’s trusted infrastructure.

This configuration minimizes the risk of email spoofing, phishing attempts, and compliance violations. It also ensures that all messages maintain proper headers and domain authentication, protecting your school’s digital reputation.

At Get Set Tech, we guide schools through best practices like this one—balancing productivity with advanced security—to foster safe and effective communication across your organization.
