2024-10-24MC How AffectWhen your organization has external recipient MailTip warnings enabled, results will be cached from the MailTip service in the users' phones local databases, enabling Outlook to use these results to make determinations when it is unable to reach the MailTips service, such as when a user's device is offline.
A new optional administrative setting (InternalDomains) allows your organization to configure a list of internal domains to inform the external recipients warning in Outlook for iOS and Android when the MailTip service cannot be reached, such as when a user is offline.
If the client is unable to reach the MailTip service, cached results are not available, and an internal domain list is not provided, Outlook will compare the domain of the sending account to the domain of each recipient.
This feature update is available by default.
A new optional administrative setting (InternalDomains) allows your organization to configure a list of internal domains to inform the external recipients warning in Outlook for iOS and Android. If set, this list of domains will be used to make determinations for external recipient warnings rather than the MailTip service
