Planning and Configuring a Messaging Platform (legacy) — Question 16

You have a Microsoft Exchange Online subscription for an email domain named contoso.com.
A partner company has an Exchange Online subscription for an email domain named fabrikam.com.
You need to prevent out-of-office messages sent by users in contoso.com from being sent to users in fabrikam.com.
What is the best way to achieve the goal from the Exchange admin center? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

Answer options

• A. Create a remote domain
• B. Create a mail flow rule
• C. Create an accepted domain
• D. Create a connector

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as creating a remote domain allows you to configure specific settings for how emails are handled between your domain and the partner's domain, including suppressing out-of-office messages. Option B, while it can also manage email flow, is more general and may not specifically target out-of-office replies. Options C and D are not relevant to the specific task of controlling out-of-office messages.
