Block DisplayName rule

Iron Contributor

I would like to setup an org-wide Exchange Rule on a 365 tenant that prepend's the email.

  1. inbound-from-external domain
  2. where the DisplayName = "John Doe"

I've tried several iterations but can't get it to work. For example, this doesn't work:

Rule description
Apply this rule if

Is received from 'Outside the organization'
and sender's specified properties match these text patterns: 'DisplayName:John Doe'
Do the following

Prepend the subject with 'CAUTION CAUTION'

If you need it only for your own mailbox, have a look at this freeware:

You have to modify the flow according your needs.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I need it organization-wide on a 365 tenant.
Then try to use "A message header includes" instead of "sender's specified properties match these text patterns" - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/security-and-compliance/mail-flow-rules/conditions-and-ex...
Thank, Victor. At your suggestion, I tried a couple of attempts at "A message header includes..." over the last couple of hours without success. Now I'll study the document you sent and try again. Will let you know.

Finally got it working. See below.Snipaste_2023-12-07_13-50-07.png

 

I appreciate the input.

Wow, great!
