We have 3 Exchange 2016 servers. All active mailboxes have been migrated to Exchange online. All emails still come to Exchange On-prem servers and then to Exchange online. How can the mailflow or mail routing be changed so that all emails directly go to Exchange online. I understand the send and receive connectors will need to be looked at, too.

    To have inbound emails be delivered to Exchange Online directly, you need to point your MX record to Exchange Online Protection service.
