What is Plus Addressing in Exchange Online?
Plus addressing is an email feature in Exchange Online that allows users to create an individualized address—known as a plus address—for each recipient. For example, when sending an email to john@example.com [john@example.com], a plus address recipient could be john+example@example.com [john+example@example.com]. This is especially useful for organizations that want to track incoming emails to specific recipients or when sending messages to multiple recipients.
