Sending emails from Autobahn DX via Microsoft 365 (Office 365) without authentication

Although it is recommended to use (at least) Basic Authentication for sending emails, there are situations where this is not possible.

The following instructions are included as a guide (not a recommendation) to configure Autobahn DX to send emails via Microsoft 365 (Office 365).

The server field requires the MX endpoint of the email server.

This is generally of the form (where company.com is the domain):

company-com.mail.protection.outlook.com

The port number is generally 25

Text Description automatically generated with medium confidence

With these settings, the destination email address must be from the same domain as the server:

From: [email protected]

To: [email protected]
