Microsoft 365 Shared Mailboxes operate in a very similar way to licensed mailboxes, which means we can add a signature by utilising Microsoft 365’s Admin Portal:
- Open your web browser and visit the Office portal at https://portal.office.com/.
- Log into your account using your Administrator credentials.
- Once you’re logged in, navigate to the Exchange Admin Center.
- In the Exchange Admin Center, look for the ‘Mail Flow’ option and click on it.
- Within the ‘Mail Flow’ section, find the ‘Rules’ option and select it.
- Here, you’ll see a ‘+’ icon. Click on this to create a new rule. From the options that appear, choose ‘Apply Disclaimers…’.
- You’ll be asked to name your rule. Choose a name that’s easily identifiable.
- Now, you need to set the condition for the rule to be applied. Look for the ‘Apply this rule if’ section. Your condition should be ‘If sender is the shared mailbox’.
- Next, you’ll choose what action is to be taken when the condition is met. Click on ‘Do the following…’. Your chosen action should be ‘Append the disclaimer…’.
- A right side menu will appear. Here, click on ‘Enter text’ and type in the signature you want to add.
- Now, select the handling procedure if the disclaimer cannot be added. Click on ‘Select one…’ and pick one of the following options:
- ‘Wrap’ – this option will attach the original message to a new email, with the signature/disclaimer appended.
- ‘Ignore’ – this sends the message without any signature or disclaimer. This is the recommended option.
- ‘Reject’ – this prevents the email from being sent, and the sender will receive a Non-Delivery Report (NDR).
- Once you’ve completed all these steps, your new rule will append your chosen signature to every message sent from the shared mailbox.
