Explanation

A mail flow rule created in the Exchange admin center is the correct mechanism for automatic, condition-based email encryption. You configure two conditions - recipient equals [email protected] AND the message has attachments - and set the action to apply Microsoft Purview Message Encryption. This runs server-side without requiring any user action. A sharing policy controls external sharing in Exchange, not encryption. Safe Attachments policies in Defender scan for malware, not encryption. Auto-apply retention label policies in Purview handle data lifecycle management, not message encryption.
