Just make sure that "Allow automatic replies" is enabled and a server side rule will work.

Also, they don't want an auto forward. They want senders to be notified of their new email, ie replacement or in one case, moving to a different college.

Also setup a contact in AD with a autoforward to their home email. I do that for execs too.

We've got two people that are retiring on July 1. Our president and VP. Both would like to have an automated reply sent to anyone that emails them. The reply would say, xxx has retired, if this is a personal email, xxx can be contacted at x...@homeemail.com. If it is work related, his replacement may be contacted at yyy.company.com <http://yyy.company.com/> . On our exchange 2003 server, we've disabled auto replies to the internet. Any way we can enable that for only those two people?
