In Exchange 2010, we have a user who will be out of office for several months. How can we prevent that users account form receiving mail, but still send out an auto-reply to the senders?

Hi,
You can set mailbox's maxreceivesize parameter to 1KB, so that his mailbox wont receive any emails.
Set-Mailbox "user mailbox" -maxreceivesize 1KB
Thanks

Hi Dinesh, Unfortunately setting the max receive size to 1K will only generate a bounce back stating that the email was not accepted by the recipient due to max message size limitations. The autoreply is not sent out.
Set mailtip to the mailbox along with maxreceivesize restrictions.
Set-mailbox "user mailbox" -mailtip "I m on vacation"
So while composing itself sender aware about users oof.
But mailtip will work only for internal

Hi Dinesh, This should be for both, internal and external senders.

Hi suriyaehnop, correct that it is not simple txt, but not rich enough for an autoreply. It seems as if there is really no backend solution. Creating a client side rule might be the only option at this point.
thanks

Reason being is that the user will reach the limit within days due to the attachments received, this was actually a request from the department manager.
