Guide to setting up auto reply on non-deliverables through SBS \ outlook public folder

Could anybody provide a quick guide on how to set up an auto reply when a non-deliverable email is sent?

We run exchange (latest version) with a connector to a catch all email account from our ISP. This catch all places all un-deliverable email in a public folder. Now what I want is a auto reply sending back to the sender, I have followed almost every guide on the net on how to setup auto-replys on public folders but with no-success.

Surely it can be done?

I don't know if that is possible without a 3rd party software.
But I use Scanmail For Exchange from Trend Micro to do this.

Hi collymellon,

Are you sure that you want NDR's sent to every piece of SPAM that comes into your server?  This is really going to use up your server's resources on something totally wasteful.  Generally, it's a best practice to BOUNCE anything that doesn't match a user account.   What kind of auto reply are you intending to send?

Thanks Jeff, a reply in terms of: Sorry the email address dosen't exist at our company, please check and re-send.

We have a lot of incorrectly named emails come through which requires me to search through them and deliver to the correct person.
