Whitelisting domain in DLP policy
The article shows you how to configure conditions/exceptions, it doesn't list them all...
I didn't find any mention about recipient domain exception in the article? Only thing I could find about exceptions is Exchange Online Transport rules, but my problem is with Sharepoint content so when sharing from Sharepoint is there way to whitelist domain that you share documents from Sharepoint?

VasilMichev no you are incorrect there is no setting for this.

Please try creating a separate DLP Policy just for exchange Online and then you can have all the different exclusions you will need.
- Are there new updates on this topic ? In large companies, the option to manage whitelists by exceptions can lead to management nightmares. Large companies work with hundreds or thousands of external partners. Ideal situation would be to be able to automate feeding of whitelisted domains with external consolidated list and just have a role in the organization completing a mapping between some sensitive info type and the associated vendors. Management of such thing in each rule /policy individually is not a sustainable model in large organsiations.
VasilMichev I'm curious to see if anyone has answered this successfully yet. Currently, you can't add a domain exception ("recipient domain is..." for SharePoint or OneDrive. It only works for exchange. We have a very similar business case where we need our parent company to be excluded from certain DLP policies that protect us from sharing "internal only" content with external users.
Adrienne Almeida, I am also interested if there is a solution/workaround for the domain exception across different products and not only Exchange.
Expiscornovus We haven't found one yet, other than allowing users to override policies. I spoke with MS support, and this is by design.
Right now, we're planning to give users the option to override the policy to share with our parent company, and apply some custom auditing (through scripting) to make sure folks are following the rules.
