Hi,
I need to send an email from an Azure Automation PowerShell Runbook. I want the email to come from noreply@contoso.com. We don't have a licensed user as noreply@contoso.com.
What's the best way to achieve this? Creating a licensed user to just send emails seems a bit overkill.
Thanks

As per this Azure document, recommended way to send an email from a runbook is with SendGrid. But as shown in below screenshots that are from https://app.sendgrid.com/, we need to do sender authentication and verification in SendGrid which means that our sender email address should be a valid one to which we would initially receive an verification email. So based on this information I believe that we can't send from noreply@contoso.com but as your requirement is to use noreply@contoso.com so you may give a try using Send-MailMessage cmdlet approach in runbook (which in general is not a recommended approach).

Thanks tbgangav,
That makes sense.
One question you might be able to help, from an O365 perspective how are generic email accounts handled? E.g. for email addresses such as contact@, info@, noreply@, etc do they generally use licensed O365 accounts?
Cheers

Hi @petersiffredi-6043 ,
Based on my knowledge, users usually create a shared mailbox as a generic email address. Shared mailboxes are used when multiple people need access to the same mailbox. When a user sends an email through the shared mailbox, the sender address seen by the recipient is the email address of the shared mailbox. For shared mailboxes, you could store up to 50GB of data without assigning licenses, but if you want to store more data, you need to assign licenses.
For more information about shared mailbox you could refer to: About shared mailboxes
