I have a P2 license for an Azure tenancy. ( mycompany.com.au ) I have been given the task to setup Exchange online in order for the organization to send /receive emails from anotherdomain.com.au. There were be 5 users that will need to send emails from anotherdomain.com.au while at this point there isnt any requirement for staff to be able to send emails from mycompany.com.au ( but there could be in the near future) I understand, I will need to add a secondary domain (anotherdomain.com.au ) in Azure and verify it, configure MX, DNS records.
This is not a hybrid environment.
I have been requested to install an SSL certificate to be able to send emails from anotherdomain.com.au. This is the part that is confusing me. How and where do I need to install the SSL certificate to be able to send emails from anotherdomain.com.au

Hi @Alfred Viegas ,
As far as my knowledge , if it is not a hybrid environment, you should not need to install any certificates for your organization. Since the data is submitted to the Microsoft cloud server for processing, all the required certificates have been installed in the remote server.
You could refer to the following link for more informaiton:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/exchange-online-uses-tls-to-secure-email-connections?view=o365-worldwide
Therefore, in order to better solve your issue, I would also like to confirm the following points:
Hi,
It has been a few days and I am checking in to see how things are going on with this issue. Does this issue have any updates?
Do you perhaps have any further concerns or questions?
Therefore, in order to better solve your issue, I would also like to confirm the following points:
Whether you have already verified the anotherdomain.com.au ? Are there any errors in the process ?
Ans : "anotherdomain.com.au" is just a temp name that I have specified in this request. The actual domain will be obtained and verified along with DNS / MX records shortly
Where did you be requested need to install the certificate? If possible, please provide the relevant screenshots for research.
Ans: I was informed by another "senior tech" that an SSL certificate would be required in order to be able to send secure emails from the "anotherdomain.com.au " domain . This tech is not available at the moment hence i thought I'd ask this question in this forum. I will have to wait for a few more days in order to get a direct answer from the tech if I am not able to get an answer here..
Hi @Alfred Viegas ,
You could review the following link for more information about adding another domain:
Add a domain to Microsoft 365 - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn
If configured correctly, we can send mails without installing any SSL certificates.
