External E-mail Notice Microsoft 365
There are a few reasons why you might want to add a notice,
when receiving an e-mail.
Consider a clever phishing e-mail that pretends to be your boss or maybe your accountant looking to transfer funds?
It could easily happen, we even wrote a book on this exact scenario.
So how can we add an external notice to Microsoft 365?
The best way would be to either speak with your IT Department / IT Provider
or follow the steps below:
Login to the Microsoft 365 Admin Portal
Open your Web browser and go to https://office.com and select Sign-In

Select Admin
Select the nine dots from the top left and choose Admin.

Go to Exchange
Select Show All and then select Exchange from the left-hand pane.
Mailflow – Rules
Select Mailflow and go to Rules.

Create a rule
Select the + sign to select a new rule and give it a name.
Under Apply this rule if choose the sender is located – Outside the organisation.
And then select the recipient is located – Inside the organisation.

Prepend the message
Choose the option Prepend the subject of the message with – Type in a choice.
I chose an easy identifier which is [External] and this will appear at the beginning of every subject line.

Once completed select ‘Save’ and then this will then automatically happen.

“Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.
Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.
He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
