Action
Owners of Distribution Groups can restrict who is allowed to send messages to their Distribution Groups. To restrict who can send to your group, follow the instructions below.
If your Distribution Group was not initially set up to permit senders outside of the UAlbany Mail system:
If you remove everyone from the delivery management list, then anyone inside the UAlbany Mail system will be permitted to send to the group if they know the name/address. Â
When the delivery management list is empty, the system will present the owner with a message indicating that only UAlbany Mail customers may send it to the group.
In order to allow senders outside the UAlbany Mail system to send emails to your Distribution Group, submit an ITS Service Desk ticket requesting this be changed for your group.
Instructions
The direct link to manage your Distribution Groups is https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/#/groups. If that does not work, try the following steps.
Log into your UAlbany Mail mailbox using the Outlook on the web. Click the gear icon at the top right of OWA, then click on General and then select Distribution groups on the left and then the link for "this portal":
You will see all Distribution groups you belong to as well as Distribution groups you own. Select Groups I own:
Select the name of the group you wish to manage and the options for that group will open on the right:
Select the Settings tab.
Select Edit delivery management.
Set the delivery management settings you prefer.
Select Save to save your changes, or X at the top right to leave without saving.
