Welll.....
>>>>>>>. But of course, it requires buying GFI
<Ahem> not quite. You can install GFI MailEssentials for minimum users (Say
10). Cost of, ummm $200. When you install it, it will tell you you don't have
enough users, and will disable the Anti-Spam features. *But* it still allows
the other features - in particular, the SMTP auto-response.

Forward the mail to an alternate user for up to 30 days, no OoO set. It's then
comes that users responsibility to notify the people e-mailing the terminated
employees.
After 30 days, the mailbox is terminated.
GFI Mail Essentials has a really cool feature where you can set an
auto-response based on inbound e-mail addresses. You define a receipient's
e-mail address in GFI (such as the terminated users address) and then you can
custom edfine the auto-response. It's a nice alternative to keeping the
mailbox live and doing OoO. But of course, it requires buying GFI. In
reality, all it does is use an SMTP Event Sink. So you can do the legwork to
create the first sink, and then just re-use the code over-and-over again for
future users.

Subject: [THIN] OT: terminated employees' email addresses
Hi all!
I'm curious what processes you use for handling email accounts of terminated
employees. We currently just delete their AD account and mailbox, but the CEO
wants people that send emails to the terminated employee to receive a friendly
out-of-office type reply with alternate contact info, and it needs to be
customizable for each employee that a supervisor may want this done for... so a
single account with one OOO for a bunch of email addresses won't work either.
I'm not comfortable with just changing the password on the account and enabling
OOO for 30 days. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!
