So, we are to guess that you are using MS Exchange as your mail server? Or
that you are using a rule to emulate OOA? If you are using a rule then it
should be obvious why it doesn't run when you have exited Outlook.
For Exchange and OOA, only recipients *within* your Exchange organization
will get the out-of-office mails. Why? Because your company isn't
interested in validating their employees' e-mail address to spammers. Also,
when you are away, someone should be handling your e-mails. Customers don't
give a gnat's fart that Joe Schmuck happened to take vacation. They want
service from the company for whom Joe Schmuck works. If no one covers your
butt while you are gone, the company's image gets tarnished with customers
who cannot get hold of someone at the company when their contact has gone
missing. It is highly unlikely that you will convince your Exchange admin
to enable out-of-office alerts to outside senders but, hey, intelligence
ranges all over for humans, including those working in IT.
