Relevant Products: Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365
Scenario
When you email to a group (either from the To: or Cc: fields), your (that is, the sender's) email signature is not added into the email received by the different recipients. Also, the return-path header of the received message is blank and only contains anchor tags.
Reason
This issue occurs when there is no sender specified on the message envelope. If the sender is blank, Signatures for Office 365 cannot identify the tenant to append for the email signature.
Resolution
- If an on-premise Active Directory exists and the distribution group is synchronized to Office 365, then:
From the distribution group Properties, set the attribute ReportToOriginator to TRUE.
These changes will not take effect until the on-premises Active Directory domain has been synchronized and replicated in Office 365.
- If no on-premise Active Directory exists then amend the distribution group Properties, in Office 365, using the Windows Powershell.
