Hey,
Is it possible to create an Outlook 07 rule that will auto reply more than
once when receiving message?
I tried Exchange server rules but wasn’t pleased with the long default
message. So if there is a way to edit this messageI’ll be happy to learn how.
Thank you all.

You can use a rule in Outlook to emulate the Exchange "Out of Office"
feature; however, obviously you will need to leave your host powered up all
the time (and use a UPS that is huge to ensure your host remains powered
during power outages), Windows left running in a non-low power mode, leave
Outlook running so it can exercise its rule, and hope that Outlook can be
used as a server for which it was not designed and that you have no network
outages.

However, like Exchange, Outlook will track the sender to whom it sends back
an auto-response. It will send just one auto-response per sender. Outlook
keeps this tracking list as long as it is running. So per Outlook session,
the list of senders is tracked that get an auto-response and only one auto-
response is sent to each sender. You will have to figure out how to exit
and reload Outlook at periodic intervals to start a new Outlook session to
start with a new tracking list. Of course, anyone that sends another e-mail
during the up-time for Outlook will not get another auto-response.

What are the steps to do this?

Google still works.

If you are a noob with defining rules in Outlook, this is probably not the
one where you should start learning.
