Unfortunately, this is not an option for me. There is no forwarding allowed, and I am in academia where (unless you are an administrator, in which case you get to set policies for others to suffer) you are expected to receive and answer e-mail all the time. I will wait to see if there are some other pointers on how to get MS Graph to integrate with a linux MTA.
