Yes, the response goes out when the mail hits the in-box and THEN the rules
apply. The Out of Office Assistant is meant for corporations using Exchange
where it can be controlled via Exchange server as to who receives the
message. The workaround for home users is a poor choice and seldom produces
the results expected.

After furious head scratching, DDF asked:
| Please clarify your response, "Don't..."
|
| Does the response mean that Microsoft Outloook's auto response,
| ignores Microsoft Outlook's Junk Email filter by responding when
| messages are recieved BEFORE filters are applied?
|
| If so, then there is a bit of a problem with process order, so why
| have the capbility?

| Thanks,
