Exchange: Block Sending to Groups on BCC Line
[This is a duplicate of 67096 and will be pulled off the roadmap] Have you ever created an inbox rule to move incoming messages sent to a Distribution List (DL) you’re on to a specific folder? But then you discover that some senders will add the DL to the BCC line so the rule (for privacy reasons) is ignored and the message lands in your Inbox instead? Ugh! Yep, some of our Transport developers had that happen to them too – and they decided to do something about it. They added the ability to configure a DL or group to reject (NDR) messages when the DL is on the BCC line. It’s been a big hit within Microsoft, and now we’re making it available to Exchange Online customers! We plan to expose this setting to email admins (for DLs) and group owners (for Microsoft 365 Groups).
