2020-10-23T02:11:10.813+00:00 Hi all,
Considering there are many users that are facing with this issue, in order to make it easier for other users to search in the forum, here is the summary about the discussions mentioned above:
"5.7.520 Access Denied – Your administrator has disabled external forwarding – AS(XXXX)", this error would happen When a message is detected as automatically forwarded and the organizational policy blocks that activity. For more information, please refer to this article: Control automatic external email forwarding in Microsoft 365.
As a workaround, it's suggested to contact your administrator to enable this feature via Security & Compliance Center or PowerShell.
Method 1: In the Security & Compliance Center:
Method 2: PowerShell:
Set-HostedOutboundSpamFilterPolicy -Identity "<PolicyName>" -AutoForwardingMode Automatic/On/OffBesides, considering the working time may be affected by the internet of your server and client, it may take a few hours to work as JohnOman-3035 mentioned, please kindly wait it for a while.
For the issue about "can't save the "on" state for allowing forwarding to an external address." as David mentioned, it may be related to the server itself, due to here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook, it's suggested to open a service request to get more help.

2021-03-10T02:02:31.83+00:00 I'm having the same issue. I followed the instructions to update the outbound rule to allow forwarding and then I see a dialog box pop up that says:
Sorry! We couldn't update your organization settings for now, but we will retry it in background. Please check back later.This is extremely frustrating, and I haven't been receiving emails to my gmail account for months.
