Selective auto reply

We have the following situation:

We use 1 Exchange server for 2 companies. So a worker has 2 mail addresses:
worker1@companyA.tld and worker1@companyB.tld.

Default mail address is worker1@companyA.tld.

Let's say, that for companyA the worker is on vacation and activate his automatic reply, is there any way to avoid the automatic reply is send to a sender, mailing to the companyB.tld address (for company B the worker is still working). Brief: the automatic reply should check the TO mail and not send automatic replies to all the aliases of the worker1.

Thanks in advance !

I dont think there is anything as such rather you can create a OOO rule with auto reply ..... but this would require the Outlook to be in running state.

Works perfectly indeed, super thx !!!

One additional question: would it be possible to specify the from address as swell ?

So the reply is send using an another alias then the default mail ?

I'm afraid that is not possible, when an email comes into your environment it gets sent to your primary email address and when it leaves the same function happens.

What you could do is to the following

Create two mailboxes with the following setting
UserA: UserA@domain1.com set as primary
UserB: UserA@domain2.com set as primary

Provide Full Mailbox rights for UserA on UserB along with Send As rights, enabled forwarding all emails of UserB to UserA.

When UserA wants to send emails to someone with domain2.com - he can simply enter the address UserA@domain2.com in his FROM address.

Exchange wouldn't interfere in this email transport and would send emails posing as UserA@domain2.com.

Hope you've got the point.
