    You can use the below script to get this done. 

     

    $NewdomainName="@xyz.com"
$Mailboxs=get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Where { $_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq ‘LegacyMailbox’ } 
Foreach($Mailbox in $mailboxs)
{
$Message="email address no more exist please send email to"+$Mailbox.Alias+$NewdomainName

Set up a transport rule for messages sent to that mail domain and reject the message with a an explanation why (NDR). There might even be a way to still accept the message and send some form of reply to the sender

    Thanks Dan.

     

    But that will not work as we need to give the senders the correct email address as well while replying back :)

        HI Santhosh, I saw your script of Autoreply, It is simple and time saving, appreciated. However, I have a question, Can this script be customized to take input from csv file? e.g. I create a csv file and in one column I put old email address and 2nd column I put new email address and auto reply would state that " Dear Sender, please note that email ID of OLD email address has been changed to NEW email address" and script will run for all users in this CSV file.

         

        Looking forward your assistance. Thanks in advance. Your old script is as below; 

        _________________________________________________________

        $NewdomainName="@xyz.com"

        $Mailboxs=get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Where { $_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq ‘LegacyMailbox’ }

        Foreach($Mailbox in $mailboxs)

        {

        $Message="email address no more exist please send email to"+$Mailbox.Alias+$NewdomainName

        Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity $Mailbox.Identity -AutoReplyState scheduled -InternalMessage $Message -ExternalMessage $Message

        }
