Hi,
Could you please tell us more details about the issue symptom?
From the error message, it should be an OOF issue. And we could check if there are some corrupted inbox rules which cause the OOF message double submission.

hi
this issue occurs for everyone not just one user so I don't think its a corrupt inbox rule
I have set the remote domain to allow autoforward and autoreply and the ooftype of externallegacy
we are in a co-existence period at the moment
our exchange is hybrid 365 and these messages occur whenever an OOF is set. sometimes they are received others not. from the message trace it looks like it is the exchange resolver dropping these messages. can this be configured to ignore the behaviour

I'm having this same issue. Any ideas here? I've checked connectors and transport rules but that doesn't appear to be the issue.Tuesday, July 17, 2018 3:28 PM

I'm having the same problem
[{LED=250 2.1.5 RESOLVER.OOF.IntToExt; handled internal OOF addressed to external
recipient};{MSG=};{FQDN=};{IP=};{LRT=}]It's occurring in O365 and also I can replicate this issue on our on-prem Exchange 2016 server which is in hybrid mode. I've tried changing the remotedomain policies
What do you get if you run this
Get-RemoteDomain | Format-List -Property id, runspaceid, domainname, allowedooftype, autoreplyenabled
I've tried the AllowedOOFType on multiple different settings for each remote domain but getting nowhere...
In the message tracking log I'm also getting
SourceContext : BlockInternalOofToExternalUser
and googling this reveals virtually nothing... about two results. I'm really struggling on this one :-s

Hello,
We have exactly same issue.
However OOF messages are properly delivered to our Exchange OnPremise but not to senders outside of our organization. We also have hybrid.
Have you managed to resolve this issue? Could you please tell us how?
Best regards,
AD

As per my observation, the reason of dropping the mail is the hybrid mail connector is not supporting TLS 1.2 in this case. The direct evidence is checking the message tracking Detailed event: "Receive" which shows that the message has been captured with TLS 1.2 version:
"Message received by: <Servername> using TLS1.2 with AES256".
The point where the message getting Dropped is in the event: "Send External" where it is getting picked as TLS 1.2 is not getting detected to pick up the mail.
Verify by sending mails from Office 365 to Office 365 mailboxes and the OOF will work over there, but it will not work On-prem to O365 and vice versa due to connector TLS 1.2 version support problem.
Let me know the outcome.
Thanks,
Abhishek Mukherjee
