Set Auto-Reply from Distro Group

---

Hi All, Any one have any ideas how I can apply a auto-reply rule on a distribution group?

I have tried creating a shared mailbox which has a rule to to auto respond using s specific message to all emails received. I have then added that mailbox to the distro group and setup a transport rule in O365 where;

If the message...
Includes these words in the recipient's address 'test.com' (distro group)
and Includes these words in the sender's address: '@test2.com'
Do the following...
Blind carbon copy(Bcc) the message to 'sharedmailbox@domain.com'
and Stop processing more rules

This does not work, only works if sending directly to the sharedmailbox and not the group.

@Waqkas-Ahmed ,

There is no good way to do this, as Distribution Groups are not designed natively support this action directly.

The quickest and easiest way to do this is with a third-party solution. Take a look at the following:
