SharePoint News “Send as email” fails for all dynamic distribution lists

Since September 2, 2026, we can no longer send SharePoint news posts by email to any Exchange Online dynamic distribution list.

What we have tested:

Sending from SharePoint to individual internal mailboxes works.

Sending to static distribution lists fails, including small lists.

Sending to dynamic distribution groups also fails.

SharePoint immediately displays: “Sending email failed.”

Sending the same content manually from Outlook to the same distribution groups works correctly.

This functionality previously worked without issues.

This appears to be specific to SharePoint News “Send as email” when the recipient is a group address. The distribution groups and Exchange mail flow themselves are working.

Is anyone else currently experiencing this? Has Microsoft recently changed group-recipient handling in SharePoint, or could this be a new service regression?

    Beste

    Ik denk inderdaad niet dat het aan de exchange ligt maar een bug in Sharepoint. ik heb net een nieuwe dynamic distributielijst gemaakt en krijg dezelfde foutmelding "mail niet verzonden". Het is een zeer beperkte dynamic lijst van 5 mensen.

    Goedemorgen,

    Het probleem lijkt intussen opgelost te zijn. Wij hebben niets gedaan hiervoor alsook onze externe IT firma had nog niets gewijzigd.

    Mvg

    Hi @Sophie Brg

    Thank you for the detailed information.

    Based on your testing, the issue does not appear to be related to Exchange Online mail flow or the distribution groups themselves, since:

    • Sending from Outlook to the same groups works successfully.
    • Individual mailbox recipients continue to work from SharePoint News.
    • Both static and dynamic distribution groups fail specifically when using SharePoint News → Send as email.

    Since the behavior started around September 2, 2026 and affects multiple group types that previously worked, this could indicate a service-side issue or regression within the SharePoint News email delivery functionality rather than a configuration problem in Exchange Online.

    I would recommend:

    • Testing with a newly created distribution group to rule out group-specific configuration issues.
    • Reviewing whether any recent transport rules, mail flow policies, or recipient restrictions were introduced, although Outlook delivery success suggests this is less likely.

    In the meantime, it would be helpful if other tenants could confirm whether they are experiencing the same behavior, as that would further indicate a broader service issue rather than a tenant-specific configuration problem.

    Please let me know if you find any additional error details. Thank you for the detailed information.
