Reply settings for Office 365 Groups
That would require functionality similar to address rewriting, which is not available in O365.
In fact, you can do that Reply-To rewriting - but not in the group settings alone, you do have to use Exchange mail flow rule for that:
- Conditions: the recipient is [group e-mail]
- Action: Set header value: set header Reply-To value to [group e-mail]
- Rule mode: Enforce
Lukasz032 This doesn't appear to work, I think. Exchange will kick the following message back to you:
You can't set header 'Reply-To' with value '<group e-mail address>'
I think an Edge Transport server is required to do that task. I am playing around with getting M365 groups to do this exact thing and haven't gotten it to work so far.BarryPT hi! Thanks for reminding me of this.
I was unable to find a way to do this with exchange on its own.
What I intended to try next, and have not yet had a time to fully explore, is leveraging one of the other platforms in O365 to mimic the Google groups functionally- creating a community either in Teams or Yammer.
I'm pretty heavily into Teams and SharePoint administration and have only scratched the surface of Yammer, but I still feel like the functionality is there, it just needs to be strung together with a Flow or some other type of automation that allows people to email an entire community at once, and then have others reply to that email by default to the same address.
Thank you for reminding me of it, I need to get back on this because I still have an email list that could use the benefit if I figure out how to make it work.
