Distribution Lists - Group Email

[Setro]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am trying to create a new email group in AD in the Distribution Lists, I have given the group a name and email address, Group scope is Global, type is Security and have added the members to the group.

 

I can see in Office 365 Admin that the group has been created and the members are there, I tried sending an email to the group but now one receives the email.

 

Thanks for any insight.

Should the group be global distribution rather than security? Is this syncing with adfs?

Hmm. When I make distribution lists, I make a security group which contains the members, then a distribution group which contains that group (and is the actual email address of the list, so mail is sent to that). Only way I ever got it to work reliably, and how I still do it. Does have some advantages with flexibility.

Thanks for the quick reply,

 

I have tried both Global and Security but at the time it did not appear to have any positive affect.

 

I happen to found out by chance that all the test emails that I had been sending have been going to Junk, any reason why that would happen and how I can stop it?

The best way is to add your own domain as an allowed domain in Office 365 (Exchange admin centre ->Spam Filter ->Default policy)

Followed your steps, our domain is already added as an allowed domain in the Default policy.
