Creating an alias email address for a domain I don't own
Hi,
My engineering school has set up for me an email address in the form of : name.surname@school.alumni.com.
Alas, I can only configure this email with a forward (no access to pop or imap).
I want to send emails from Outlook desktop :
1- ideally, with this alumni address as the sender AND reply address.
2- at least, with this alumni address as the reply address (sender adress being disclosed).
Just setting the "From" address in Outlook when sending an email does not work. I get an error message looking like :
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.SendAsDeniedException: Can't transport send message. ---> Microsoft.Mapi.MapiExceptionSendAsDenied: MapiExceptionSendAsDenied: Unable to transport send message. (hr=0x80070005, ec=1244)
Of course trying to add a server from Exchange Administration Center does not work, because I don't own the school.alumni.com domain.
Any idea or workaround is welcome.
Hi Jerome Lena.
you can set any address as Reply-To: one in Outlook for Windows.
Create a message and populate the "Have replies sent to:" field.

Victor_Ivanidzethank you very much for this tip!
I did not know (obviously 🙂 ) about this Outlook desktop option.
Take care.
In fact you can do the same thing in OWA with SetReplyAddress for Outlook 365 add-in.
The add-in is free for personal users.
Talk to your school's IT staff...
