PowerShell - New-InboxRule to answer each incoming mail with a specific text

Dear Experts,

We used to use PowerShell command to set InboxRule, for example forwading the incoming message to specific addresses in below syntax:

New-InboxRule -name "TestRuleForward" -mailbox "Bill.Smith@it.com" -ForwardTo 'Steve.Smith@it.com','John.Smith@it.com'

Could you please advise is it possible maybe to set a similiar rule, but which is answering each incoming message with a specific text?

thanks,

Meir Rivkin

u mean that for example, every email that comes from "Bill.Smith@it.com", you want to forward to 'Steve.Smith@it.com','John.Smith@it.com', but also reply to 'Bill.Smith@it.com' with a message?

the basic idea is this:

Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity Bill.Smith@it.com -AutoReplyState Enabled -ExternalMessage 'whatever' -InternalMessage 'whatever'

Thanks the answer,

Not exactly, the above syntax was just an example for the forwarding in using New-InboxRule, because that sure works for us.

The idea would be to set a kind of automatic reply to the sender, but which is Rule and not AutoReply.

Basically there is a case where a shared mailbox needs all mails answered back to a sender with a specific message. That can not be an AutoReply (so through Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration), because that would not send back answer to the 2nd mail of the same sender. Just to his 1st one.
