Why not just use the exim equivalent of a .forward with the vacation
program?

Or, have a transport that, if it sees RCPT TO: old.com, spits back an
autoreply to the sender before falling over to the next transport for
delivery?

If you want to make the change far faster, I'd suggest bouncing old.com mail
with a 5xx message "please contact foo@???" - easily customizable if
foo@??? maps to foo@???

Otherwise, I'm sure you are aware that sheer inertia will leave old.com
permanently embedded in lots of outlook address books out there.
