SharePoint Communication Sites - "Send by email" settings
Because this 'feature' that you cannot disable (without a hack or creating your own page type) literally parses the page and adds a snippet of the content to the email bypassing all security in place. I understand that as a user they can simply copy and paste the contents a of page and email them, but that requires effort and a strong understanding of what they are doing as well as giving the end user a chance to filter and/or remove content.
What if your sharing the page with an external user? Now they can just click the button, enter an email address... any email address, and send content from your page to anyone. Its pretty amazing that this hasn't been addressed yet.
Agree that we should get more control on this feature. There should be an option to prevent users from sharing with external users. You could look into Exchange, find a way to capture these emails and block them when they are being sent to external users. Not sure if it's possible, but without any controls in SharePoint, that's the first place where I would look for a solution.
Pooya Obbohat Did you ever find a way of eliminating the 'Send By Email' link, from Sharepoint 365 webpages?
