Out of Office Assistant keep on autoreply?

[Guest]

Is there a way to make the Out of Office Assistant keep on autoreply to each
sender?
By default it only reply once to each sender. It is a problem if people are
away for several weeks at a time.

No, but you can create a rule that mimics OOF and responds to all messages.
Beware of endless mailloops though.

To recap what Roady wrote - this is a very dangerous thing. Imagine what
happens when autoreply meets autoreply. I do *not* recommend this. If the
recipient is away for several weeks, the sender *did* get a notification -
and it's really his or her problem if they can't remember.

I can see you point about autoreply meets autoreply, but it could have been
nice if
it would start all over the next day e.g. and send autoreply to the same
people again if the send a new mail.

But anyway thanks you both for your answer.

If you emulate the OOA with a rule, I believe that it will resend the
message with each new Outlook session, as long as the rule is a client-side
rule.
