Sending email as alias in office365?
Not sure to understand your problem...
In your scenario, you should have added several domains to the tenant (i.e. "surname.xy", "surname.net.xyz", etc.). Hence you could indeed create separate DLs and/or SMs such as "james@surname.xy", "james@surname.net.xyz", etc., which do appear as senders.
As above, I'm talking about the display name. I already have the domains added to my tenant so that part isn't the issue.
The issue is you can't create a D/L, or contact, or shared mailbox, etc, with the same display name

Hi James,
It looks the only way to get what you want is using the cloud service I've mentioned earlier.

Victor_Ivanidze I did look at Choosefrom 365 but I don't want to send my emails through an unknown third party (to me), nor edit the subject to define which address to send from.
I figured out a kludge way of having multiple shared mailboxes with the same name, is to utilise a spare license and create a normal user with mailbox (with the same name) on the alias domain, then convert it into a shared mailbox.
It would be nice if Microsoft supported this natively one day

Have you tried to change the display name by powershell?
