Add Alias Name

I have a user jadams she just got married and wants to change her email address to jlani but she doesn't want to change her login name yet and wants to keep her old email address in case i added her new email as an SMTP Email under one of the exchange tabs in AD Users Profile and it works when she sends to herself but not from other users on the same domain or from outside -- any ideas --thanks

That is all that you are supposed to do.
You will have at least two email addresses listed: jlani@domain.com and jadams@domain.com
One of those will be default.

What happens when another user tries to send to the new email address?

Nope,  NDR Generated  
If it is still generating the NDR - what does Message tracking tell you? That wasn't a fix BTW, it is a diagnostic tool - it shows whether the message came in or not.

Otherwise, try removing the alias from the account. Wait 30 minutes for Windows to update itself. Then put it back in. Leave the existing email address in place.
