account rename?

We are to rename an account in full. We would still like E-Mail sent to the old address to arrive but would like a rule to issue a message to say that the person no longer works here, even though the mail will be sent to their account in the new name. This is for internal and external mail.

I know a secondary SMTP address can make sure the mail arrives but we need to be sure a message goes out to only those mails sent to the old name. Weve also noticed that outlook is clever enough when an alias is in place that when you type out the old name within our domain, it gets corrected to the primary address.

Any help apprecia

Hi,

As you need to rename an account, this actually can't be done on the Outlook client. I suggest you post the question in the Exchange Forum to get more dedicated support:

The best way to achieve this is via a Transport Rule on the Exchange server. If you need more support on this topic and as Melon Chen CHN already mentioned, it is best to continue this in an Excha
