User impact: Users may be unable to utilize automatic forwarding with their Exchange Online mailbox.

Representatives of organizations that would like us to re-forward any messages affected by this event are encouraged to contact Microsoft support and refer to this Service Health Dashboard post ID.

More info: New messages will be automatically forwarded, as per user settings with the deployment of the code fix. However, messages users attempted to forward between 2:04 PM UTC on May 11, 2025, and 5:00 AM UTC May 16, 2025, will not be replayed automatically.

Start time: Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 2:04 PM UTC

Root cause: A recent service update to address an unrelated service problem introduced an impacting code regression that prevented some users from utilizing Exchange Online automatic forwarding.
