The simplest way to do that is to create a mailbox. <br />
<br />
But since this is not the solution you are looking for you could try to write a transport rule watch for email sent to the DL, and log an event that includes the sender's address. &nbsp;Then you'd need a scheduled task, triggered by that event that would run a script to send the notification email.

The way I'd do it is to create a mailbox and then forward this mailbox to a distribution group and use the OOF of the mailbox.<br />
<br />
Using transport rules would work but could lead to mail loops<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I've set up a whole bunch of Distribution Groups in Exchange 2010. &nbsp;Is there some way to have &nbsp;auto-responses for the groups, such as &quot;Out of Office&quot; type responses in Outlook? &nbsp; I'd hate to have to set them all up as regular users with Outlook profiles just for this purpose.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

Exchange 2010 - Distribution Groups

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers
