You want the mail from the Azure app to pass your on-prem environment, do I read that correctly?

Hi Yes,

I know it's not great but we need to route through our OP Hybrid to begin.

Then, in the future, we are looking to send from the Azure App to Exchange Online.

The latter would be the preferred method for me too.

I assume in order to do that all I would need to do is configure the send mail in the Azure App to send to smtp.office365.com using a valid licensed account.

Thanks

I think that would be the wisest, as that would put it in EXO's ecosystem, adds options to monitor flow and rules, while connectors with centralized mail-transport configuration would reroute those messages back to on-prem before they get send out.
