O365 Exchange transport Rules

Question

One of the requests that i received today , is to create a transport rule for any external email been sent to our environment&nbsp; will be receiving an auto reply&nbsp; on it. This was easy&nbsp; on exchange on premises but with O365 cant be done and many other customers are facing the same .. Is there any workaround or solution for that issue ?&nbsp;

Why wouldnt it be possible. The first thing that comes to mind is auto bcc the message to some (shared) mailbox and configure the auto-reply there.

I will clarify one thing here : the request is that any email will be send from any external email address to any email address inside the organization, must get an auto reply ...

So can you please advise me how to achieve this on O365 ...

Did you try the Transport rule? You can scope it to senders outside of the organization and use "BCC" as an action to copy those messages to some shared mailbox. Then, configure OOO reply or Inbox rule on the shared mailbox to handle the reply.
