asked on

company name change, auto reply from server to notify senders of change, how to

My company is considering a name change. They have done this before and I know the details of adding a new recipient policy with the new smpt name and all that.

This time however they are asking that anyone who sends to the old domain name, recieve an auto reply of some sort notifying them of the domain name change preferably something that says "you sent mail to user@a.com, the new company name is b.com, so please send all future emails to user@b.com" or something similar.

I wish I didnt have to deal with this, let users handle it themselves, but our ceo has found the websites that can do that for your personal email and decreed that we should be able to do the same...

help!

What you may need is something like an auto-reply tool. You can write your own event sink in MS Exchange, which determines the recipient domain and sents out an auto-reply. But this is a programming task. Or just use a third party tool to do this. Have a look at www.gfi.com

Also you can play arround a liitle bit with outlook rules, i.w. words in recipient address, but this rule has to be setup on each client.

I am running GFI mail essentials already. They do have an option for an autoreply, but its based on individual email address's, I would have to manually enter each email address, not a great option.

I'll check with some of our dev's about this, thanks for the link. I've got a request in to GFI, but no response yet from support.
