Define mail flow rules to encrypt email messages

As an administrator that manages Exchange Online, you can create mail flow rules (also known as transport rules) to help protect email messages you send and receive. You can set up rules to encrypt any outgoing email messages and remove encryption from encrypted messages coming from inside your organization or from replies to encrypted messages sent from your organization. You can use the Exchange admin center (EAC) or Exchange Online PowerShell to create these rules. In addition to overall encryption rules, you can also choose to enable or disable individual message encryption options for end users.

You can't encrypt inbound mail from senders outside of your Exchange Online organization. If a mail flow rule is set up to encrypt mail from outside the organization, the inbound mail will be delivered without encryption.

If you recently migrated from Active Directory RMS to Azure Information Protection, you'll need to review your existing mail flow rules to ensure that they continue to work in your new environment. Also, to use Microsoft Purview Message Encryption with Azure Information Protection, you need to update your existing mail flow rules. Otherwise, your users will continue to receive encrypted mail that uses the previous HTML attachment format instead of the new, seamless experience. If you haven't set up message encryption yet, see Set up Microsoft Purview Message Encryption for information.

For information about the components that make up mail flow rules and how mail flow rules work, see Mail flow rules (transport rules) in Exchange Online. For additional information about how mail flow rules work with Azure Information Protection, see Configuring Exchange Online mail flow rules for Azure Information Protection labels.

Important

For hybrid Exchange environments, on-premises users can send and receive encrypted mail using message encryption only if email is routed through Exchange Online. To configure message encryption in a hybrid Exchange environment, you need to first configure hybrid using the Hybrid Configuration wizard and then configure mail to flow from Office 365 to your email server and configure mail to flow from your email server to Office 365. Once you've configured mail to flow through Office 365, then you can configure mail flow rules for message encryption by using this guidance.
