On an Outlook 2003 mailbox, I have set a rule that has the server send an auto reply to all incoming emails.

If someone emails the mailbox multiple times a day/week, is there a way I can set Outlook to only send one auto reply a day/week to that user?

Thanks

Only when you make a client side rule out of it. Then it will respond only
once per Outlook session.
If it is an Out of Office notice you can use the Out of Office Assistant for
it. This will only respond once until it is toggled off and on again.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I'm now trying to use the Out of Office Assistant, this is still sending more than one message to a user per session.

Is there a way (with the out of office assistant) to reply to all incoming messages, once per user, with a template.

Unfortunately the AutoReply textbox isn't sufficient for what I need to send back.

Thanks

Hi

The OOR is designed to work only once per user, unless the OOR is turned off
and on again and this will restart the process.

You can "reply with template" - you can predesign this allowing you to use
HTML and include images.
