two different approaches are possible:

1. use out-of-office
* mail recipient must keep on existing in the Exchange Org
* Rather easy configuration (you can choose between Powershell or Outlook / OWA)
- Set-up in Outlook: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290846
- Set-up through PowerShell: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2667296

2. Use Transport Rules
* Central Configuration Place
* A bit more "dangerous" to set-up (as a wrong setting can impact all users in your environment)

Powershell i found earlier, however i want to know that places where what to fill eg. alias etc like this running powershell is risky since do not know much of it. Also i think just open the powershell and start these commands or do i have to add and credentials or any command in starting.
