As part of our continued efforts to help customers be successful with Exchange Online, Microsoft has detected that some customers are using an unsupported journaling configuration by pointing their journaling alternate mailbox to an Exchange Online mailbox. With the enforcement of mailbox receiving limits as announced in our February blog post, this may result in loss of journaling non-delivery reports, as cloud-hosted mailboxes will be throttled when they exceed the limit of 3600 messages received per rolling hour. We urge all customers to validate their journaling configuration and ensure they will not be affected.
Using an Exchange Online mailbox as a journaling alternate mailbox
Journaling in Exchange Online allows administrators to set an alternate journaling mailbox. This mailbox will accept non-delivery reports (also known as NDRs or bounce messages) if the primary journaling mailbox is unavailable, to catch undelivered journal reports and allow for re-sending when the journaling mailbox becomes available.
As the documentation states, the alternate journaling mailbox cannot be an Exchange Online mailbox. Cloud mailboxes are subject to our Exchange Online service limits and unsuitable for journaling.
How can I tell if I am affected?
Tenant administrators can check their configuration via the classic Exchange admin center. Navigate to the Journal Rules section and find the email address configured for non-delivery reports. If no address is configured or if the address is not an Exchange Online mailbox, administrators do not need to take action. If the address for journaling NDRs is set to an Exchange Online mailbox, administrators need to change this setting in order to avoid impact.
What do I do if I am affected?
Microsoft’s recommendation is to leverage our Microsoft 365 compliance solutions rather than journaling messages to another location. This suite of solutions provides data protection, data loss prevention, and data governance capabilities to meet customers’ diverse regulatory and compliance requirements.
If journaling is still needed, administrators should double check their settings and switch the alternate journaling address to a non-Exchange Online mailbox. Customers are urged to validate their configuration and take action by May 31st to avoid potential disruption.
Thank you for your attention to this!

As the data estate in your organization grows, it becomes imperative to manage the quality of data and govern the data to avoid duplicates, inconsistencies, and missing information. With different versions of data available across different departments, locations, and systems, it can be difficult to maintain a single source of truth. A classic example is a bank where a customer who has a credit card with the bank still receives offers to open a new credit card. This happens because the customer service department in bank is not integrated with the credit card department and the customer data is duplicated in both places. Hence, the role of Master Data Management (MDM) is even more significant than ever before.
We are happy to announce the integration of Profisee MDM with Azure Purview to establish governance standards, policies and enforce the same on the master data.
What is Profisee MDM?
Profisee is a master data management software that allows unlimited users, records, and data domains. Its MDM solution is geared towards business data stewards. Profisee’ s golden record management engine (GRM) can match, cleanse, de-duplicate, and verify performance of records numbering in the millions.
Profisee MDM solution provides business users with easy access and management of the definitions, descriptions, and associations that describe master data application. As a master data solution evolves, Profisee automatically synchronizes metadata changes, ensuring stakeholders always have the most up to date information.
Azure Purview – Profisee Integration
You can now push master data model from Profisee to Purview where the master data entities can be enriched using governance processes in Purview i.e., adding ownership, tagging glossary terms etc. Once the master data is enriched in Purview, this information is then retrieved in Profisee so that it can be reviewed and enforced in Profisee. In a nutshell, master data in Profisee is validated, cleansed, and standardized using governance output from Purview.
High level capabilities for this integration include:
- Use enriched Purview catalog data entities for master data modelling in Profisee.
- Use Purview data catalog and business glossary for data stewardship in Profisee.
Get started today:
We are looking forward to hearing, how Azure Purview and Profisee Integration helped unlock the Master data management (MDM) experiences in your organization.
