Help with server rule for out of office reply

[RJ]

Hi,
I am looking to set up a rule (or use some hidden tool)
that will act as a reply mechanism when I am out of
office. I don't want to use the regular ooo reply, but
rather filter incoming messages so that those from a
specific domain, i.e. abc.com ONLY get the ooo message,
while others go to my regular spam folder (filtered by a
firewall rule). This rule would have to be server
oriented, since my client would not be available to
process incoming messages. I've tried to set it up using
the rules wizard, but I can't seem to get it to realize I
want it to be server oriented, and not client-based. Any
help is greatly appreciated, TIA!

How important is it that it has to reply to the whole abc.com domain? Im
other words; how often do you receive mail from someone from the abc.com
domain who isn't in your addressbook already? If this is not often or even
rarely you could create a rule that only replies to people who are in your
abc.com distributionlist. This way the rule would be serverbased as well.

Is this a possible solution for you?
