Alias from another domain with O365
Thank you for your reply Vasil.
one doubt arised with your awnser. When you wrote " You can however use a subdomain, if that fits your needs.", what are you implying? How does that Work?

Thank you for your reply.
I did a test with another domain i have:
I add a new domain in the main tennant. Gave an alias to my account.
When i open my outlook ( desktop Version), i can use the Alias for sending and receiving. The issue i found is that the recciver will see the name only from my main domain and not from the Alias i sent.
Example mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons ( main account) mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons is the Alias.
Sending e-mail from mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons is received has mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons
I have checked on exchange online for enabling Mailflow.
What am i missing here? Or is it impossible for the name to appear?

- Jantunes1981Aug 17, 2023Copper ContributorGreetings Vasil,
We did some more attempts:
1) When sending an e-mail we can choose from wich alias we sen. It works fine if we send for mailboxes outside the company, since the Alias will appear correctly.
2) If we send from Alias to another tennant inside the company the name that will show will be the main domain.
When we reply to an e-mail received from the Alias, it will always send from the primary e-mail. We have to change manually to the Alias.
At this point the only question we have is for the reply not using the e-mail Alias from wich was received.
Any thoughts in how to solve this
Best regards.
