You've chosen to share a domain name with your on-premises messaging system. When you share a domain name, on-premises users and Outlook Live users have the same domain suffix in their e-mail addresses. To implement a shared address space, you have to configure a forwarding solution to make sure that e-mail is relayed for delivery in the correct environment.
Review the following deployment scenarios and select the option that's right for you.
