I received an error message that says "Sorry, that address is already in use. Please choose a different name."

Mar 4, 2024 · You can now use a custom domain as the sender of these notifications. Using this feature means that emails are sent from your own Exchange Online instance and they become internal communication. For example, no-reply@sharepointonline.com [External] could become no-reply@contoso.com , if Contoso.com is the selected domain.
