To enable mail forwarding to another domain I had to install powershell and a plugin to install a plugin to allow forwarding in my org.
Then there are times when it says : „To change this setting please enable the legacy UI“
And everything of this convoluted UX hell is documented in a dizzying but highly accurate documentation. I have to give them that!
Switched to protonmail and not looking back.
Okay so step 1: you try to enable forwarding, but the UI gives you an error about some policy that has to be set
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/recipients-in-exch...
Step 2: you have to find the anti spam settings in a UI called „defender something“ and turn the automatic forwarding polic on.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/offi...
Again the UI doesn‘t allow this because some setting in your organisation is disabled.
Step 3: the hard part. This setting can only be disabled through powershell. Google the name of it and you will find some docs about it.
There might be other ways to achieve forwarding. At least it sounds like that in the docs, but then they must be buried deep below the legacy UIs.
Good luck!
