Special treatment for new sender incomming

Hi,

I have more and more often a legitimate domains whichs is compromised.
These domains have never been used to send email to my company before.

Now attacker sends email from theses domains with a phishing link to me.
Cisco security proxy did not detect that was a phishing email, but it is an other problem.

Is there a way to make a special treatment on Cisco ESA with these "new incomming senders" like put a special header message to users ?

The obvious solution is to create a content filter with a list of exclusions for top known domains, but it seems hard to keep up to date and dirty.

So these are "new to you" domains... I think Email Threat Defense (used to be Cloud Mailbox Defense, cloud native, O365 only, based on journaling mail to Cisco), has a detection for this.
I think they're planning on making some of those cloud detections available to CES/ESA somehow in the future, but I haven't seen an actual roadmap.

You could take a look at the senderbase reputation score (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/email-security-appliance/117919-technote-cdc-00.html) And make an Content filter for certain range of score, so you could add and disclaimer text to the emails.

Thanks for your answers.
Yes It could be smart to add a disclaimer for "poor" reputation.
Unfortunatly I still have users who opened clearly bad attachments with a disclaimer message ...

For the SBRS is there a view to see the distribution of this score. There is for the domain reputation score but not for SBRS. 
I need to know what percentage of my incoming mails will be affect by the disclaimer.
