Hi
I am trying to create a transport rule that when a user from the oustide sends an email to our orginization containing a specific domain for example @mydomain.com, than the sender will receive a message saying...please do not use this email domain moving forward as the company name has changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

There's no transport rule action to reply with a specific message. You could bounce the message but I don't think you want to do that.

Ok what is the best rule to capture the domain name?
So the error code will only be produced when a user emails to @mydomain.com

I would think that RecipientAddressMatchesPatterns would be most appropriate. You'll need to express it as a regular expression.

There are plenty of other sources for regular expression syntax.

Ok here is the issue....
We use to have an old domain @olddomain.com
and now we are using the @newdomain.com
The default reply address for all users is now @newdomain.com.
However if you email somebody@olddomain.com Exchange stills delivers it to the users @newdomain and this does not kick in the transport rule because the pattern is never matched.

I can't say because you haven't shared the configuration details.
