#Microsoft365 Office 365 ATP External email forwarding controls and policy change

 


Organization: HCS COMPANY MICROSOFT SERVICES B.V.

Follow up to MC221119: Office 365 ATP External email forwarding controls and policy change

MC223421

 

 

Major update: Announcement started

Applied To: All

 

 

As a follow up to MC221119 (August '20), your tenant was identified as having existing users using external forwarding prior to September 1st 2020, and for this reason the “Automatic” setting defaulted to “on”, i.e. external forwarding is allowed. This was to allow your organization additional time to assess the impact and determine the appropriate Auto Forward Policy setting. We are contacting you to inform you that on November 2nd, 2020 the “Automatic” setting will be updated to “off”, i.e. external forwarding will not be allowed by default.

[When will I be impacted by this change]

November 2nd, 2020

[What you need to do to prepare]

You should review your Auto-Forwarding Policy to verify the expected experience:

  1. Use the Auto-forwarded messages report to identify which users in your tenant are automatically forwarding messages outside the organization. Focus on users with either SMTP forwarding or Inbox rules. Exchange transport rules (ETRs) are unaffected by this change.
  2. Configure the outbound spam policies to allow automatic external forwarding for either your entire organization or specific users.

For more information, please see Configuring and controlling external email forwarding in Office 365.
