POP3 auto response

[theguru97321]

I have recently updated a client with an Exchange 2003 server. They previously used an ISP to host their email.
Everyone is now useing the new email, but some people still send to the old address, which we've set POP3 connectors to pick up and forward to the proper user.

How can I setup an autoresponse for those emails GLOBALLY to explain the new email address'?

You think need the ISP who hosted the mail do it. Are they the same e-mail addresses?

That makes sense...

but I'd like to hear any other options.

Why don't you setup the 'old' addresses as aliases on the user mailboxes, and let the users handle the appropriate answer? So much simpler, only 1 mailbox, and they will reply from their NEW address so the initial sender can see that.

The users are dumb. I can't rely on them to do it. Most of them don't even check their mail but a couple times a month.

Then either you should educate them or let them be dumb, that is your choice (and the bosses), but if they won't check for mail, MAKE them.
What is the point of having read receipts if mails are not being read, or read a Month later?
