Review the System-Generated Notification Content
Use this solution to understand the automated message and identify why Exchange generated it.
The address MicrosoftExchange329e71ec88ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e@domain.com is a system-generated Exchange Online sender. It is not a real mailbox, distribution group, or Microsoft 365 group.
It is primarily used for non-delivery reports (NDRs), mailbox-full notifications, forwarding approvals, and other internal system messages.
Double-click the email received from the MicrosoftExchange address in your Outlook inbox.
Look for specific error codes (like 5.1.1 or 5.7.1) or text explaining why the original message could not be delivered to the external recipient.
Ensure the external email address you attempted to send to is spelled correctly and is currently active.
Run a Message Trace to Troubleshoot External Delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reply to the MicrosoftExchange329e71ec88ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e address?
No. It is an automated system address used strictly for outgoing notifications like non-delivery reports. Any replies sent to this address will not be monitored or received by a person.
Why did I get an email from this address when sending to Gmail?
Receiving a message from this address when sending to external providers like Gmail or Yahoo typically means your email bounced. This can happen due to strict external spam filters, misconfigured domain DNS records (like SPF/DKIM), or restrictive internal mail flow rules.
How can I remove this address from my Exchange address list?
You do not need to remove it. By default, this specific system address is hidden and is not classified as a standard mailbox, distribution group, or Microsoft 365 group, meaning it will not clutter your organization's Global Address List (GAL).
