In Outlook 2003 (and Exchange/Windows Server 2003 SBS), is there a way to
have exceptions for Out of Office replies? I belong to several email user
groups and would prefer not to have an out of office message sent out to the
entire group when I get an email from the group while on vacation.

Thanks!

Of course. Click the Advanced button. There's a box labeled "Only items
that do not match these conditions" there. Put all the "From" addresses to
which you do not want OOA to respond in a rule whose action is "Alert with
Sound" and then check that exception box. Make it your very first rule and
check the "Do not process subsequent rules" on the first page of the rule
dialogue.
