How to create a email address to just forward to external email
Hello, I have an Office 365 tenant with a few Office 365 licenses and their corresponding users and regular email addresses. I am loosely related to the company and I want to create an email ...
You can do this by 1) creating a mail contact or mail user representing yourself in the forwarding Exchange organization (e.g., luis@company.com); and then 2) creating a mailflow rule that redirects messages sent to the mail contact or mail user to an external address (e.g., luis@anothercompany.com).
Keep in mind though that forwarded messages will generally fail the SPF check. (I was under the impression that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Rewriting_Scheme is being developed or rolled out to Exchange Online but in my tests it wasn’t used.)
