If you have a gateway spam filter, it can get pretty confusing for end users having to discern whether a lost email is in the gateway’s junk store or in the Outlook junk folder. For this reason it’s usually a good idea to disable the Outlook spam filter option. You can easily accomplish this using group policy so that you don’t have to go one by one.

Open group policy editor and create a new policy. Enable the policy and add the users for whom you want to disable Outlook anti-spam.
