Timeline change for BasicAuth for SMTP AUTH deprecation (now starting mar'26, was sep'25) https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/exchange-online-to-retire-basic-auth-for-client-submission-smtp-auth/4114750?WT.mc_id=M365-MVP-5000284 #MSExchange

Seems unaware orgs are hitting external recipient limits. Keep track of who sends out through your tenant, especially using hybrid, or eg app messages might cause blockade of more important things #MSExchange #TERRL #MC1023294 #EX1075036

for those unaware, corporate email since 2023 is utter bs because of #microsoft et al.

ofc, my boss switched us to cheapest #msexchange plan w. a third party who doesn't provide admin rights. he then told me to find a free solution to our web forms. the only free solution with ms is through azure api which fails to delivery 1/6 email?

sooo. uh, i cobbled together a functional workaround with #IT-ducttape. by using a free #gmail + gcloud api, and filter forward the forms to our corp emails lol.
