How to setup O365 groups and email for a mix of internal and external receivers?
Hi,
For our soccer club I am setting up O365 and I am running into a scenario for which I do not know what the best solution would be.
- Board and committees get O365 group and teams to work together (e.g. activity committee)
- Few people of each committee get a O365 login (e.g. mailto:person1@blauwwit81.nl) as we only have 50 licenses. Other get guest account.
- Email send to committee has to be send to multiple people including ones with email address of O365 account and others with personal email addresses
- Email to committee is not the same list as members of a committee team
- Board has to have access to all committee teams sites
I was thinking of setting it up like this
- Create O365 group called ActivityCommittee with members board and involved persons (either by O365 login or guest account). Email for group would be like ActivityCommittee_Teams@blauwwit81.nl
- Create mail contacts for external people
- Create distribution list mailto:ActivityCommittee_Teams@blauwwit81.nl to forward email to external people as well as O365 accounts
Would this the best way or is there a better solution?
Kind regards,
Anton Beerens

That should work, and if the users aren't added to the Team with their "desired" email address, you don't have much choice but to create a separate DG anyway.
