The anti-impersonation feature uses artificial intelligence to distinguish between messages from legitimate senders and impersonated senders. This feature also checks emails originating from non-U of T email addresses against a pre-defined list of display names belonging to senior leaders at U of T. This means that if someone attempts to impersonate a senior leader by spoofing/using their name or email address to contact U of T recipients, the scam email will be sent directly to users’ junk folders.
