Out of Office Assistant - Junk email replies

[Guest]

How do I set up Out of Office assistant not to reply to items that get
transferred to the Junk email folder? I have tried to edit the rules within
Out of Office and don't see a way to do it.

Is this on Exchange or POP3? POP3 users are best served by using their ISP's vacation message since most ISPs will filter junk and not respond with the vacation message.

I am connected to Exchange on a SBS2003 server.

If you are on Exchange, then you should have gateway mail filtering to stop the spam from getting to your inbox. Exchange has several free tools (Internet Message Filter - IMF for one) that filter out spam before it hits your mailbox.

Exchange also denies replies and forwards to the Internet by default so nothing that comes in from outside your network will ever receive an automatic reply.

Are you seeing something different?

We are just beginning to use Exchange - I will download the tool you spoke of
and try it. For now we have Office2003pro and using the Junk Email Filter
(both stock content filter & manually adding addresses/domains). Since both
Out of Office and Junk email are used at the inbox I am getting an autoreply
to junk email as well which triggers another incoming email. I was hoping
there was a rule exception similiar to not replying to Out of Office messages.
