====== Forwarding of email to outside users ======

2023-12-22

Bit of history;
Was allowed by default however has been changer by Microsoft to NOT allowed by default.



Forwarding rules section: The setting in this section controls automatic email forwarding by Exchange Online mailboxes to external recipients. For more information, see Control automatic external email forwarding in Microsoft 365.
Select one of the following actions from the Automatic forwarding rules dropdown list:
• Automatic - System-controlled: This is the default value. This value is now the same as Off. When this value was originally introduced, it was equivalent to On. Over time, thanks to the principles of secure by default, the effect of this value was eventually changed to Off for all customers. For more information, see this blog post.

All you need to know about automatic email forwarding in Exchange Online

From <https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/all-you-need-to-know-about-automatic-email-forwarding-in/ba-p/2074888> 

You can use outbound spam filter policies to control automatic forwarding to external recipients. Three settings are available:
	• Automatic - System-controlled: This is the default setting. This setting is now the same as Off. When this setting was originally introduced, it was equivalent to On. Over time, thanks to the principles of secure by default, this setting was gradually changed to Off for all customers. For more information, see this blog post.
	• On: Automatic external forwarding is allowed and not restricted.
	• Off: Automatic external forwarding is disabled and will result in a non-delivery report (also known as an NDR or bounce message) to the sender.

====== Office 365 now supports larger email messages—up to 150 MB ======

you can change the default for your organization by adjusting the default message size restriction. 
Simply select recipients > mailboxes then click “. . .” and select Set default message size restrictions.

Outlook Web App (OWA) in Office 365 offers an easy way to “attach” a document as a link to where it’s saved on OneDrive for Business, a great option for sharing large files with your colleagues.

====== Setting up email alias forwarding (for Email account)======

From: https://community.office365.com/en-us/w/exchange/how-to-forward-email-in-office-365

<code>
First and foremost, it there are two main categories of forwarding you'll need to pick from:

Option 1:  Forwarding an Office 365 mailbox - this scenario is typical when you want an Office 
365 login, whether it is because you need one for another Office 365 service (like Skype for Business 
(formerly known as Skype for Business (formerly known as Lync)) or SharePoint), or because you 
eventually will move all your email to Office 365. 
Option 2:  Forwarding for a simple email address (without a mailbox) - this is beneficial when 
there is no need to store any email on Office 365 for the address, and there is no reason to 
create an Office 365 account.

====== Setting up email alias forwarding (by Group account)======

From: https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158/t/64555

Before going further, I’d like to clarify your detailed requirement.

1.There is custom domain ‘mydomain.com’ in the Office 365 tenant.

2.You prefer to have an email address ‘username@mydomain.com’ and this email address don’t relative any mailboxes. So this email address don't need license.

3.The mail, which is delivered to the address ‘username@mydomain.com’, will be delivered to external mail box like ‘username@hotmail.com’.

You can create a Distribution Group (DG) with address ‘username@mydomain.com’ and add the ‘username@hotmail.com’ to this DG. You can follow the steps below.

1.Add the ‘username@hotmail.com’ to the external contacts. After logging into Microsoft Online Portal, click manages under Exchange. Select tab ‘Users and Groups’ and click External contacts. You can add the ‘username@hotmail.com’ to the contacts. For more information, please refer the following link.
