"home office" "exchange server" "Out-of-Office Assistant"

[Guest]

I work out of my house, using Microsoft Office XP Professional with Publisher
Version 2002. After three years of using it, I finally figured out that the
reason why I can't use the "Out-of-Office-Assistant" is because I don't have
an exchange server e-mail account. This is a huge inconvenience because I
travel a lot for work and often do not have e-mail access, and not being able
to send an automatic reply has caused me some problems. Does anyone have any
suggestions? Is there some kind of community exchange server for people like
me? Or are there any pop account providers that have auto-reply on their
accounts? My current e-mail account is on MSN.
