The domain of the recipient is not configured as part of connector when you validate a connector
Original KB number: 3179588
Problem
When you try to validate an outbound connector in the Exchange admin center in Microsoft 365, the test email message isn't delivered, and you receive the following error message:
The domain of the recipient is not configured as part of connector.
You receive this message even though the domain was added to the accepted domains list.
Cause
The outbound connector was saved without having the option enabled to turn on the connector after it's saved.
Solution
On the New Connector page, select the Turn it on check box to turn on the connector after it's saved, save the connector, and then validate it.
