Is there a way to use "Out of Office Assisstant" w/out having "Exchange
Server" w/Outlook 2003??? I find it hard to believe Microsoft would do that
to people (ha ha). I would appreciate any input on this.

Thanks,
Dan
 
No, and by (secure) default it's for internal use only in Exchange as well.

If you are not in an Exchange environment you can create a rule that replies
on all e-mails. The downside of this is that you'll have to have your
Outlook open all the time for the rules to process. Make sure you set some
exceptions (for instance based on the subject field so it will not reply on
subject with e.g. reply, failed, undeliverable, etc...) otherwhise you could
create endless mailloops between two mailservers and those can be a real
threat to the mailservers!
