Validation
This section explains how to validate end users mail flow after On Demand Migration Domain Rewrite service has enabled. For the purpose of this guide, we have configured both Rewrite Target Address and Rewrite Source Address for our test users. Users with rewrite enabled will have their email address will be rewritten based on the rewrite mode as described below:
Rewrite with Target Address – Email sent by the user’s active mailbox in the source tenant will have the address rewritten for both outbound and inbound messages. Demo2MBX1@Demo2.MCSLab.qsftdemo.com is the source mailbox, all external recipients will see the email address rewritten as Demo2MBX1@Demo3.MCSLab.qsftdemo.com.
Rewrite with Source Address – Email sent by the user’s active mailbox in the target tenant will have the address rewritten for both outbound and inbound messages. Demo2MBX2@Demo3.MCSLab.qsftdemo.com is the target mailbox, all external recipients will see the email address rewritten as Demo2MBX1@Demo2.MCSLab.qsftdemo.com.
