Sending email as alias in office365?
Microsoft has now enabled send-as Alias on April 29, 2021. However, you have to enable it via powershell for the organization. You can find the instructions in https://www.derekseaman.com/2021/04/microsoft-365-can-now-send-email-as-proxy-address.html
Traveler2045That is great news thanks for that! I was so excited I tried it right away and it did not work though 😞
I set SendFromAliasEnabled to True
I then went to my Outlook and in the from box I selected other email addresses
I then typed out mailto:anthony@pivotcustom.com (it saved it from my previous attempt)
I then sent an email to an address NOT on the exchange server(gmail, hotmail, ect.)
Sending DID work though so that was different because normally this would fail
Above is my sent message to the external account
Next here is my received message header:
From shows mailto:anthony@americanrampcompany.comhowever the header.from shows as pivotcustom.com (I searched the header info and that is the only instance of pivotcustom.com in the message header)
If I click reply on the message and view the To address it is wrong
So in conclusion sending works now however it does not translate on the other side still. Can anyone else test and confirm? maybe I am missing something. Thanks.
- Shared mailbox is the preferred solution however I don't want to use that in my environment because I have 30-40 users with 3 to 4 aliases each so the shared mailbox count would rack up fast and managing that would not be fun. In most scenarios though I bet Shared Mailbox is the best solution.
- I finally figured out how to send from a sharedmailbox... so don't need this any more but boy it took ages... !
