Microsoft automatically blocks images on all external emails and there is no admin level configuration that ensures images are automatically shown to end-users unless it’s on their personal safe list. User could manually add the domains to their own safe list but that is cumbersome and not something we’d expect a user to perform.
To optionally add all domains to all of your users allow list you can run the following script using the Exchange Online V3 PowerShell modules.
Please follow Microsoft’s steps to connect to Exchange Online V3 if not previously setup. Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell | Microsoft Learn
Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell
Create a .ps1 file of the script below and run after connected to Exchange Online PowerShell
The script will add all of the domains used to send simulation campaigns to if you use the “A” option on initial run. If you would like to remove the domains from the safe list you can input a “R” to remove all of the domains.

YOU MUST CONNECT to Exchange Online as a Global Admin for this script to run properly.
