  The message was not delivered because it was rejected by the recipient's email provider.

Remote server returned '550 5.7.520 Access denied, Your organization does not allow external forwarding. Please contact your administrator for further assistance. AS(7555)'

• Forwarding is disabled organization-wide

• Deactivate Forwarding auschalten

• Nach einloggen in https://outlook.office.com/mail/:

Scenario 1: You have enabled forwarding and set delivery only to the forwarded email address. Emails are not being forwarded, and you receive an error message. You do not receive any emails yourself and no notification.

Scenario 2: You have enabled forwarding and set delivery to both the forwarded email address and your employee email address. The sender receives an error message, but you still receive the message in your inbox.

Scenario 3: You have set up an inbox rule. This cannot be clearly assessed, as many different settings can be configured here.
