SPF passes when the message comes to Microsoft 365 DKIM on the sender domain passes when the message comes to Microsoft 365 All messages that meet the above criteria will not be relayed through the Relay Pool. For relayed messages, we will skip SRS rewrite. When this change takes effect, you can tell a message was sent via the Relay Pool by looking at the outbound server IP (all Relay Pool IPs will be in the 40.95.0.0/16 range), or by looking at the outbound server name (will have "rly" in the name). For the messages to go through the regular pool you will need to make sure when a message arrives to Microsoft Office 365, SPF or DKIM passes, or sender domain of the outbound message matches an accepted domain of your tenant For DKIM to work, make sure you enable DKIM for sending domain for example fabrikam.com is part of contoso.com accepted domains, if the sending address is sender@fabrikam.com, the DKIM needs to be enabled for fabrikam.com. you can read on how to enable DKIM here. To add a custom domains follow the steps mentioned here. If MX record for your domain is pointed to a 3rd party or on-premises server, you should utilize Enhanced Filtering to ensure the SPF validation is correct for inbound email to avoid sending email through relay pool. https://docs.microsoft.com/exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/use-connectors-to-configure-mail-flow/enhanced-filtering-for-connectors https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/admin/setup/add-domain?view=o365-worldwide https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/use-dkim-to-validate-outbound-email?view=o365-worldwide#steps-to-create-enable-and-disable-dkim-from-microsoft-365-defender-portal https://docs.microsoft.com/office365/troubleshoot/antispam/sender-rewriting-scheme |
