2016, Exchange, Exchange Online, , ,

This blog explains the resolution for the NDR with error “‘550 5.7.106 APPROVAL.InvalidContent;”

Infrastructure:

4 Exchange 2016 in High Availability

2 Edge Exchange 2016

             2 Hybrid Servers for the Mailbox Migration

Scenario:

    1 On-premises Distribution Group

    5 members where 4 mailboxes in Exchange Online and 1 mailbox in Exchange On-premises

    Approver User mailbox is in Exchange Online

Issue:

    When an on-premises user is sending an email to this DL.

    Approver receives the message and approves it.

    But receives the following NDR.

    ———————

Microsoft Exchange (Guid}@domain.com)

Resolution:

Important to observe the following:

  1. Mail flow is working fine between Exchange Online and On-premises.
  2. Edge Transport which is the 1st receive is not sending the NDR
  3. NDR is coming from Exchange 2016 mailbox role servers.

We ran the following command for all 4 Exchange 2016 Mailbox Role server which fixed this issue.

Get-ReceiveConnector “Default Servername” | Set-ReceiveConnector -TlsDomainCapabilities “mail.protection.outlook.com:AcceptCloudServicesMail”

This solution has been mentioned in the following forum post.
