I'd use a PS script and the EWS managed API. If you set it up right, you might be able to use a single transport rule doing a pattern match on the To: address, and copy them all to one mailbox. The script could read the messages, send a customized response based on the recipient address, and then hard delete the emails. Set it up as a scheduled task, and run it every half hour or so.

Good general idea though, I know some people there. I'll see if they have any options since they're the ones forcing the retirement of the old domain. From: Michael B.

I realize this isn't an Exchange solution, but it's an EASY solution: transfer the domain to GoDaddy and use their built-in catchall solution. Regards, Michael B.

The domain chicagogsb.edu is going away in November and 40% of inbound mail is still addressed there. We want to send a reply back to everyone sending to that domain telling them to update their address books, etc with the new domain. I've researched this and the only way I can come up with is to have a hub transport rule that BCC's another mailbox where there's an Outlook reply telling them to please send to u...@chicagobooth.edu<mailto:u...@chicagobooth.edu> instead of u...@chicagogsb.edu<mailto:u...@chicagogsb.edu>. Have the rule delete the message but someone would have to log into that mailbox and purge those deleted messages. Thoughts on other ways to accomplish this?
