Anonymous email address in office 365

[DeniGaro]

Hi Guys,

I hope that someone can help me with power automate flow that will send anonymous mail.

Scenario is like this: We need an email address which users will user for Alarm Notifications so when I send an email from that email address the recipient will never know that I send it. No trace at all. 

Now, I was able to fix this by creating an instant flow with Gmail connector. (It is crazy that MS will deprecate its own connector for this). Customer like it but thinks that it will be complicated for users to download flow app on the phone and go through that and my question is: Can I create a flow that will trigger this connector when clicking on the link (which will probably be on a website)? Hope that someone can guide me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance.

If all users are in one tenant, create a distribution list noreply@domain.com with no members and assign each user right to send as this DL.

Hi Victor,

We need to create anonymous mail where no one will be able to find out who send the email. I thought to do this with shared mailbox but we can easily find out who send email with PS. How to do this with Power Automate? To create a link on a website and when users click on it then they can type text and send email through connector?

Do a quick test: create a DL as I suggested, assign yourself right to send as this DL and send a test message from this DL using Outlook/OWA.

Check if a receiver has any info about you as a sender.

Problem is that customer don't want to have trace, and with Powershell you can find out who send email as DL or Shared mailbox.

I don't understand, sorry. 

You said "the recipient will never know that I send it. No trace at all." 

Could you please explain how a recipient can detect the real sender if a message is sent from the DL/shared mailbox?

[DeniGaro]

Hi, 

People with some kind of admin will be able to get that info. Customer wants to have system where only 1 person is responsible for it and receive those mails (anonymous) and no one else will be able to find out who sent the mail? Mail body can contain security informations / complaining etc.. and it would be very risky if someone could find out who sent it.

So the whole idea is to have anonymous mail which whole company is using but without option to find out who is sending mail. DL's and Shared mbx provide info about sender (if you are using powershell)

[VictorIvanidze]

DL's and Shared mbx doesn't provide any info about real sender if the sender has "Send as" right (not "send on behalf of").

As far as I know there is no way to retrieve that info using Power Shell or any other tool on receiver's end.  If you know how to  find a real sender using Power Shell, please let me know the details  - I'm very interested in reproducing this phenomenon.

Can anyone help with the flow design? If we have a link on a website and we need to send email when people click on that link what I need to think about?
