Distribution list question with bcc

Question

Currently have the list set-up to auto-forward emails from the list to the individual admin inboxes but would prefer it if it was sent as a Bcc instead of To or Cc. Is this possible and how would I set up the inbox rule to do so?

Hi @Nick J. Knodel,

 

Welcome to Q&A Forum!

Thank you for reaching out regarding the email forwarding issue from the distribution list. I’d like to provide an update that we have tested a potential solution in our test environment and implemented steps to ensure emails are correctly forwarded to the shared mailbox while maintaining recipient privacy.

Set up a forwarding rule from the distribution list 

• Go to Exchange Admin Center → Mail Flow → Rules. Create a rule to forward emails from the distribution list to the shared mailbox. 

 

Create a new rule by clicking "New Rule." 

Select "The recipient is... + is this person" 

In the "Select members" dialog, find and add your distribution list. 

Do the following...: 

• Select "Add recipients..." and then "to the Bcc box". 

In the "Select members" dialog, add the individual admin email addresses (or a group containing them if you prefer). 

If anything is unclear or if you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to clarify and assist further.
