I'd set up a dummy mailbox for each user that has addresses you want to retire, move those addresses to that mailbox, and use Out of Office for the reply.
Server side rules don't throttle, and you can end up causing mail loops. Out of Office won't do that. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Hart [mailto:sh...@wrightbg.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 4:12 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Server side rule or transport rule for auto-responders? 8 addresses Steve Hart Network Administrator 503.491.4343 -Direct | 503.492.8160 - Fax -----Original Message----- From: Campbell, Rob [mailto:rob_campb...@centraltechnology.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 2:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Server side rule or transport rule for auto-responders?

I'm looking to set up some kind of an auto-response rule to certain email addresses. The difficult part is the disntinction between addresses and users. Users have new addresses and old; we only want the auto-responses going out in response to email sent to old addresses. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist ************************************************************************************************** Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
