Email account setup

[mdrabble]

Have an interesting request for an email addresss/account.

 

We have some sixth formers, head of science and external Dr (Dr of what I have no idea)

 

But I’ve been asked to setup an account/address where any incoming emails are sent all people in this group (so like a distribution list) but they also want to send emails from this address to invite external guest speakers into school.

 

Not used Shared mailboxes before - so no idea if if this is the way to do or a different way.

 

How would other people do this?

 

Cheers

shared mailboxes can only use internal addresses as member authentication so your external Dr will need an internal account. However, you can just have a mail enabled group with an external "contact" for the external address. You can then have a "send on behalf" for users who are allowed to send as [email protected] 365 distribution groups can have calendars too, useful if they want to book something (but you are skirting towards teams if you head down this route) Edited January 26, 2023 by KK20

If you have office 365 you can achieve this using a microsoft group (it can even have an external guest email in it)
