Little more detail? Wheres the mail going to be? What version of Exchange? I mean, right now the advice is to turn the box off and go home, which isnt likely to prove useful to you. More details from you will help us. "el_admin" wrote in message news:a249e2e9-89b5-4b54-b0ef-b58613247089...

I apologize, We already have our new mail server up and running and everyone has been migrated over. No one has been using the legacy email for over a year. We are currently using Exchange 2007 both on the new mail server and the legacy server. Is there a way for the new mail server to accept mail from the old one with an auto-respond message? Does that help you?A

No problem. There is a specific document to remove that first Exchange 2007 server.

Hi El_admin I am a little confused about your question, do you mean that there are still some users using the old mail server, and you want to the new mailbox which was hosted on the exchange 2007 server anto-respond a message when they receive a email from the mailbox on the old server? It sounds odd, you had referred that you migrated all the users to the new server, right? Regards!
