Out Of Office Assistant

[Guest]

we are using outlook from office XP on xp pro machines with an exchange 2000 server as our mail server. When users activate the out of office assistant from within either outlook or outlook web access, the out of office reply is only sent for internal emails - external mail just gets arrives as normal with no out of office reply. Any body any ideas?

Your Exchange server is probably set not to allow out of office responses to
the Internet.

The settings are in Advanced properties of Internet Message Formats

It's probably a good idea not to allow automated messages of any kind to be
sent to the Internet, they can cause message loops, they tell spammmers the
address is valid and they annoy people whose email address has been spoofed
by a virus.
