Each user in Microsoft 365 (Exchange online) mailbox can have a lot of alias addresses besides the primary email address. Those addresses could even be on different domains – depends on whether you added some other domains into your M365 tenant or not.

For years I’ve been ridiculed by sysadmin gurus that are using “serious mailing systems” mostly built on Linux and mail transfer agents you can find there. “You can’t even send mail from an alias address in your Microsoft mail server, lol, rotfl, …” were they saying.

Ok, not anymore. It was about freaking time that Microsoft enabled something so basic. Now you can send mail from your alias address and your email message will have even have your reply-to address correctly configured.

Have a nice week.
