Check outside recipients before sending
When your admin turns this alert on, clicking Send on a mail with any address outside your organisation opens Alert: Sending Email Outside Organization. It lists the outside addresses. Untick any that are wrong and click Yes, Please send, or click Cancel to go back and edit the mail.
How to check outside recipients before sending
- Write your mail and click Send.
- If the Alert: Sending Email Outside Organization box opens, read the list of outside addresses.
- Untick any address that should not get the mail. Use Select All or Deselect All for long lists.
- Click Yes, Please send.
- If you unticked anyone, check the Email will not be sent to the following list and click Confirm, or Go Back to change it.
When to use it
Rohit types "rahul" in To and the suggestion fills in rahul@gmail.com instead of rahul@acme.in. When he clicks Send, the alert lists the Gmail address. He unticks it, sends the mail to the rest, and adds the right Rahul afterwards.
Good to know
- The alert works in both new and Classic compose.
- Your administrator sets which domains are internal. Addresses on any other domain are listed as outside.
- Unticked addresses are removed from this mail only. Everyone still ticked receives it.
Common questions
Why don't I see this alert?
Your domain administrator decides whether the alert is on and which domains count as internal. If it is off, mail is sent without the check.
Does it stop mail to outside addresses?
No. It only asks you to confirm. You can still send to any address you leave ticked.
