Azure action group not sending emails for outlook contact group

Question

I want to configure an alert in Azure portal. When it fires, I want to send a notification to a contact group, for example: [email protected]. I choose action type: Email/SMS/Push/Voice Interesting thing: when I set up action group not for a contact group, but for my personal email - I see the alert in my mailbox. Is there any way to configure action group for a contact group consisting of emails? Is there a whitelist/blacklist configuration somewhere?

Answer 1

Verify that emails from these three addresses are not blocked:

[email protected]

[email protected]

[email protected]

It is common that internal mailing lists or distribution lists block emails from external email addresses. You need to whitelist the above email addresses. To test, add a regular work email address (not a mailing list) to the action group and see if alerts arrive to that email.
