How to suspend emails for a mailbox?
Hi, We have a user who will not come to work for a few month. We want to suspend this person's mailbox, not receive any emails to his mailbox. Can someone tell me what is the best approach? ...
Hi Grace,
The Retention policy is based on the user, not the SMTP email. I someone send to the new smtp email address it will continue to do retention according your policy.
Hi Brian,
I just got chance to test it. It works, however the sender doesn't receive bounce message. How can I let the sender know this mailbox isn't available?
Thanks,
The MailTip that you cannot send to the mailbox is internal to your company only. The NDR if you send to them should work externally as well. Its possible that the NDR was junked but that is harder to work out, as NDR's can be junked if your mail flow is not configured properly (which would be a different thread and not in answer to this one). If you block anonymous senders to a mailbox you will get an NDR back (same for quota size restrictions and transport rules)
