Workaround:

Right click on the From header at top of emails. Then Field Chooser

Then New, change the Type to Formula, give the new field a name (e.g. MyFrom). Enter [From] in the Formula box.

Click OK.  Now click and drag the newly created Field from the list onto the emails beside the existing From field

Now, click and drag the original From field off the email list.  The EXTERNAL Label is tied to that field, and by removing the 'real' From field it will take away the label.

I mean this kind of existed before with mail tips.

Hi Chad,

We have settings in Exchange admin center which could prevent external users to send you an email. Please go to https://portal.office.com > Admin> Admin centers> Exchange> Recipients> Mailboxes, select and open your mailbox> Mailbox features> Message delivery restrictions> Require that all senders are authenticated. If you want to receive messages from external senders, this option should be unchecked. Also check Accept messages from/ Reject messages from fields.

If this cant fix the issue, please provide me with a few additional information:

• Do you have Office 365 managed domain email address, onmicrosoft.com or a third party?
• Have you add and fully configured your domain? The behavior looks like you don't have MX record configured.
• Could you confirm that other users inside your organization can send you email?

Please update me with all answers.

Best regards,

Nemanja

Thank you for this information. Unfortunately, when I get to step 8 (click the save and close button), I get an error message that says I do not have permission to save, as below.

Here's my problem. I am the global administrator for the tenant. I am an owner of the distribution group. I am a member of the distribution group. For the life of me, I cannot find a setting anywhere in Exchange admin (or in 365 admin, for that matter). Thus, if you can point me to the place where I need to fiddle with permissions settings, I would be grateful.

Thank you for your help.

Dear StrongEagle111,

 

Good day!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you. To add external email addresses to a distribution list in Outlook, the church secretary can follow these steps:

1. Open Outlook and click on the Address Book icon in the Home tab.
2. In the Address Book window, select the Global Address List from the dropdown menu.
3. Search for the distribution list called Church Members and double-click on it to open it.
4. Click on the Modify Members button in the toolbar.
5. In the Modify Members window, click on the Add button.
6. In the Add Members window, enter the email addresses of the church members in the Email field, and their names in the Name field.
7. Click on the OK button to add the members to the distribution list.
8. Click on the Save and Close button to save the changes.

Note that the church secretary will need to have permission to modify the distribution list in order to add members to it. If they do not have permission, they will need to contact the Exchange 365 admin to grant them the necessary permissions.

This is added by your company email administrator and is most likely part of company IT policy which we cannot help you circumvent.

You would probably be in breach of company policy if you did try to mess with this so I would advise against it.

I wouldn't worry about it being interpreted as a "micro-aggression" as it is a common enough company email policy and people are used to it. I see it on a regular basis and never interpret it as such.

All that you can do is try to talk to your administrator about having the message removed or moved to the end of mail so as not to be shown in the preview of messages. Any change would have to made for all users in your organisation though, and the message is at the top of the message to ensure it is seen with every mail, so unfortunately the answer they give will probably be that it cannot be changed due to policy.
