Hi there
In this article I’m showing how to create a DL (Distribution List) on Office 365 portal
go to your Office 365 tenant portal
home \ groups \ add a group
follow the wizard and at
Choose a group type: select Distribution (sends emails to all members of the list) and click next
Set up the basics: give it a Name (cannot be a preexisting name) and Description (this you can leave blank) and click next
Edit settings: git it a Group email address: info@yourdomain.com (e.g. info@yourdomain.onmicrosoft.com or info@thebeier.com) and click next. Check the option “Allow people outside of my organization to send email to this distribution group” if you’re willing to me this group public and click next.
Review and finish adding group: verify Group type, Basics and Settings and click create group.
By default the group is empty you need to add members as recipients as well as if you’re the group owner you need to add yourself as member if you’re willing to receive messages sent to this group.
Now you’re ready to send an test email to info@yourdomain.com DL
Open your @hotmail or @gmail account and kick this off.
Tracking messages
https://protection.office.com/messagetrace
click + start a trace
and select “To these people” field as info@yourdomain.com – by default the filter is for 2 days internal you can change this however it will scheduled a report and an email will be sent to your global admin email when the report is ready. Leave default for this exercise and click search.
