Documentation for how to allow email forwarding from an MS365 email account<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to mail tab of a user profile <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on the forwarding option<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the top where it has a warning letting you know that you won’t be able to actually send out mail click on \u201cmanage outbound anti-spam policies\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on the anti-spam policies page within defender click anti-spam outbound policy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
then click edit protection settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
near the middle of the page is one labeled forwarding rules, and it’ll say automatic forwarding rules if it’s on system, default or off, it will block all forwarding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when you change it \u201con\u201d you will get an error message saying that certain things must be set up, click OK<\/p>\n\n\n\n
then you have to wait roughly 72 hours for these things to take affect. there is a method where you submit a ticket to Microsoft and they run a ton of power shell commands to try to accelerate the process but the most reliable methodology I have found is just waiting the time that they say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
there is not an indicator or progress bar or confirmation email once the changes have applied<\/p>\n\n\n\n
here’s the key part: once the tenant update has happened that allows for external email forwarding, that rule will go back to system default. you now have to open back up that anti-spam policy and change it back to the \u201con\u201d position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
then you can go to any person’s email within the users, directory page, put in forwarding and put in some address completely outside of the domain. Send it a test email from something completely outside the domain, and once you see that confirmation email come through. You are all set!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
