Out of Office Autoreply

[Sue C]

When I set up my Out of Office, the message is only sent out to 'internal'
people on the server. Nothing goes out to external customers / suppliers
etc.

I found an old old (2005) entry on this discussion board that gives the
reason for this as:

Because its disabled at Exchange, depends on the version of Exchange as to
where to turn it on. By the way it is disabled because of the potential for
mail looping scenarios.

Does anyone know if this is still the case, and how I go about enabling it?

Thanks.

Sue

It is still the case in order to avoid mail storms (message loops). You
didn't mention what version of Microsoft Exchange your site is using, but
for Exchange 2003, you would launch Exchange System Manager and go to Global
Settings > Internet Message Format > Right click on Default > Properties >
Advanced tab.
