How to Receive Admin Notifications in Microsoft Entra Without a Mailbox

In this blog post, we explore how to receive admin email notifications in Microsoft Entra without assigning mailbox licenses to admin accounts. By leveraging plus addressing in Exchange Online, organisations can route notifications to existing mailboxes, maintaining security and reducing licensing costs. Plus addressing allows admins to create unique email aliases by appending a "+" and a tag to their existing email address, ensuring critical alerts are received without exposing privileged accounts to additional risks. We walk through the setup process, share a real-world use case from Contoso, and demonstrate how this solution can streamline your admin workflow.
