What is recipient location?

Question

Hi,

I can`t find information about "recipient location". As far as I remember, this is related to Accepted Domains. We can add a domain and specify its type.
Can you please enplane or give link to article?

Also if I have hybrid configuration. Does it means that on-premise Exchange is external partner for Exchange Online or this is internal location?

I need to copy all incoming and outgoing messages to a separate archive box. But so that they do not duplicate.

I can specify a CustomAtribute for each user who is in O365 (already migrated) and On-Prem who is not yet migrated and create rules using those attributes.
Create one rule on Exchange Online, and the second on On-Prem. However, I thought maybe I could specify the location and that would separate the users. Separate those who are already in o365 from those who are still on-prem.

Thank you.

UserScopeTo One of the following values:

Inside the organization (InOrganization)
Outside the organization (NotInOrganization)
In an external partner organization (ExternalPartner)
In an external non-partner organization (ExternalNonPartner)

A recipient is considered to be inside the organization if either of the following conditions is true:

The recipient is a mailbox, mail user, group, or mail-enabled public folder that exists in the organization's Active Directory.
The recipient's email address is in an accepted domain that's not configured as an external relay domain and the message was sent or received over an authenticated connection.

A recipient is considered to be outside the organization if either of the following conditions is true:

The recipient's email address is not in an accepted domain and, at the same time, the recipient's email address is not in a remote domain for which the property IsInternal is set to true.
The recipient's email address is in an accepted domain that's configured as an external relay domain.

External partner organizations are external domains where you've configured Domain Security (mutual TLS authentication) to send mail.

External non-partner organizations are all other external domains that aren't considered partner domains.
