You can use the Exchange Management Shell to configure custom settings for MailTips between various organizations.

By establishing an organizational relationship, you can enhance the user experience for both organizations by sharing free/busy data, configuring secure message flow, and enabling message tracking. For more information about organizational relationships, see MailTips Over Organization Relationships.

You can use various settings to control how MailTips are used between two organizations that have established an organizational relationship. The procedures in this section illustrate these various controls. In all examples, the on-premises organization is contoso.com, the remote organization is online.contoso.com, and the organizational relationship is named Contoso Online.

You use the Set-OrganizationRelationship cmdlet to configure these settings.

Use the Shell to configure which MailTips are returned to the remote organization

For each organizational relationship, you can determine which set of MailTips are returned to senders in the other organization. This example configures the organizational relationship so that all MailTips are returned.

Copy Code 
Set-OrganizationRelationship "Contoso Online" -MailTipsAccessLevel All

This example configures the organizational relationship so that only the Automatic Replies, Oversize Message, Restricted Recipient, and Mailbox Full MailTips are returned.

Copy Code 
Set-OrganizationRelationship "Contoso Online" -MailTipsAccessLevel Limited

This example configures the organizational relationship so that no MailTips are returned.

Use the Shell to configure a specific group of users for whom recipient-specific MailTips are returned

You can restrict the return of recipient-specific MailTips to a specific group of users. By default, when you enable MailTips for an organizational relationship, the following recipient-specific MailTips are returned for all users:

  • Automatic Replies

  • Mailbox Full

  • Custom MailTip

You can specify a MailTips access group on the organizational relationship. After you specify a group, the recipient-specific MailTips are returned only for mailboxes, mail contacts, and mail users that are members of that group. This example configures the organizational relationship to return recipient-specific MailTips only for members of the ShareMailTips@contoso.com group.

Copy Code 
Set-OrganizationRelationship "Contoso Online" -MailTipsAccessScope ShareMailTips@contoso.com

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-OrganizationRelationship.
