Support for Dynamic '+' Email Aliases in Office 365
Hello,
I am familiar with using a plus sign following my email alias to create dynamic unique addresses for a Gmail account. e.g. test.email+signedup@gmail.com will arrive at my Gmail mailbox, where I can then apply rules based on the 'To:' address. See this page for details: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370
I tested this on my Office 365 address and it works, but only for email addresses in my parent domain. Using the aliases on subdomain addresses results in a 'recipient not found' NDR.
Does anyone out there have more information on this feature or if it even is one for 365 / Exchange?
Thanks!
Ryan

I’m pleased to announce that the plus addressing feature is now available for Exchange Admins to enable. This can be done through Powershell using the following command:
Set-OrganizationConfig -AllowPlusAddressInRecipients $true
For instructions on how to use Powershell, you can find out more here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/exchange-online-powershell-v2?view=exchange-ps
The setting may not instantly take effect so please expect a delay before you can start using plus addresses.
Regards,
The Exchange Transport team

Hi everybody,
I found a manual solution while waiting for Microsoft to develop the functionality.
You can create a mail flow rule in Exchange with the following options:
If the message ...
the recipient address matches these templates: "^mailnickname\+"Perform the following operations ...
Redirect the message to "mailnickname@domain.com"Unless...
Received from "Inside the Organization"The last option is very important because if you do not put it you risk losing emails.
So you will enjoy the same functionality as Gmail except internally.
(The allias + feature will only work if the sender is not part of the company's Microsoft tenant - normally this is not a problem for most of us)
Make me your returns if it suits you!

This is a great topic and I think it should be widely considered. But check out the newest idea and see what you think!

If I am ever going to stop having to hear my co-workers talk about how GMAIL is Better than O365, then MSFT needs to get with the program!!

As a developer we made heavy use of this feature in GSuite before moving over to O365. It allowed us to create disposable accounts for testing purposes. We're kind of stuck now with creating a bunch of manual of aliases.

Still cannot believe Office 365 doesn't support RFC 5233 subaddressing. Outlook.com does it well. As does Gmail. This is a pretty widely used feature, so please make it happen Microsoft!

Most of my coworkers are still using their personnel gmail accounts because of this feature.

This feature originally came back in 2001 in RFC 2822. Please add this as other major email vendors have been supporting this for years. One example is gmail.

Please consider getting this feature working. The lack of this feature prevents me from bringing some clients to office 365.

This is the SINGLE remaining reason for us not to be able to migrate to O365.

Amy updates on this? I kind of need this feature before I move over to office365.

This is really good feature & kind of self service. It doesn't need any action from Office 365 admins. Users should be able to add any alias with their email id and mail should be received at their primary SMTP address.
Looking forward for positive response. -

You change the title of this idea to add Dynamic Alias management with '+' sign. It will have more vote :-)
