How to set timebound rules for outgoing emails for specific users
I'd like to apply a time-bound rule for specific users email accounts.
For example, for user x:
- Intercept all sent emails and redirect to another email address, instead of the original recipient, for 7 days.
- Between 7 and 14 days, intercept every other email (50% of sent emails), and redirect to another email address, instead of the original recipient
- Between 14 and 30 days, intercept 1 in 10 emails (10% of sent emails), and redirect to another email address, instead of the original recipient
- After 30 days, remove this rule, so 100% of emails are sent directly to intended recipient
Is this possible using Office 365 apps, such as Power Automate, or is there such a configuration which can be set by an admin in Outlook settings?

- There's nothing built-in for such scenarios, you'll have to write your own solution.
VasilMichevThanks for the reply. So, would this be possible using Power Automate? The problem I have is not really knowing where to start with implementing this using Office 365 apps i.e. which app/apps are likely to allow me to achieve this.
Hi andrewj720,
there are several ways to implement what you want. What email clients do you use (Outlook for Windows, OWA etc.)?
