Outlook Online Conditional Forwarding (Inbox Rules)

Set up conditional forwarding rules for Office 365.

Overview

To set up conditional forwarding for Office 365 within a single mailbox, you’re required to use Outlook Online (or the Outlook application) to connect to the mailbox and create the inbox rules. 

This guide provides you with the steps required to implement conditional forwarding for Office 365.

Set up conditional forwarding

  1. From the mailbox, (i.e. phishing@example.com) which receives phishing reports from end users, click Rules > Manage Rules

    Untitled
  2. This will open the settings dialog with the rule manager. You’ll add a new rule with conditional forwarding to selectively forward the messages to a desired destination.

  3. Click + Add new rule.

    Untitled(1)
  4. Provide the following name, condition, and action for the rule:

    1. Name: Forward to Radiant Security
    2. Add a Condition: From the drop-down select From. Then, add the email addresses you want to forward to Radiant Security.
    3. Add an Action: From the drop-down, select Redirect. Then, enter alerts@report.radiantsecurity.ai
  5. Select the Stop processing more rules checkbox.

  6. Click Save to create the new rule.

Note: This guide uses the From condition as the sender of the message, but there are many options for conditions that you can choose from.

Note: Under Add a Condition, you can add multiple email addresses in the From list to build a list of users to apply the rule to. If you add another condition, it acts as an AND operator and will only match when both conditions are met.

Note: The Stop processing more rules option prevents other rules from being applied to the message after this rule. If you have specific rules you want to apply to messages before the conditional forwarding rule, then make sure to move those rules higher up the rule list and do not enable them with the Stop processing more rules option.

 Note: If you have multiple conditional forward rules, ensure that conditional forward rules are placed higher on the rule list so that they are processed before the default forward rule.
