Out of Office Assistant

[Larry]

My users make use of the Out of Office Assistant consistently. Lately we
have noticed it will only send out of office notices internally and not
externally outside of our network.

Going through our change-log for the Exchange server, all that has changed
in the past few months is some CU's and a Relay rule allowing our Internal
IIS server to relay messages through our Exchange server.

How can I get the Out of Office Assistant to send to all email, internal and
external to our network?

thanks in advance!

Not to ask the obvious but your users are not checking the "only
internal" rule when they go out of office correct?

This is a question for the Exchange newsgroup.

We are using Outlook 2003 - I don't even see that option when I go into my
Out of Office Assistant - additionally, there are no rules defined either.

At this point, I am thinking it is an Outlook problem not an Exchange
problem - This is why this question is posted here.

But OOA is a function of Exchange. It is the Exchange server that sends the
OOA messages.
