Note: These instructions may vary depending on your setup. They are provided as a means to help troubleshoot.
This solution involves a server in the format: contoso-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
Setting up your Exchange Online
1. Go into Office 365 and select the Exchange Admin Center.
2. Once there, select Mail flow > Rules.
Note: If you do not see the Rules section, you will need to contact Microsoft to upgrade your account.
3. Under Rules, create a new rule by clicking the plus icon.
4. Give your rule a name, then click More options.
5. Under Apply this rule if, select The sender, then choose IP address is in any of these ranges or exactly matches.
