Out of Office Assistant not working with external mail

D

Dudley Spicer

When setting up the Out of office assistant in Outlook
2000 or 2002, it will only work internally. It notify
anyone internally on the network but not anyone who sends
from an external address. This is the same whether I am
running with Exchange 5.5 or 2000.
Any Ideas on how to troubleshoot this problem would be
gratefully received!!

Kind Regards,

The default configuration of Microsoft Exchange is to not allow out of
office notifications to be sent to the internet. The exchange administrator
needs to turn this on with an understanding that it can introduce
vulnerabilites to the system. (For 5.5, you would go to the internet mail
connector to turn it on. For 2000 it is in ESM | Global Settings | Internet
Message Format | Default | Advanced tab)
