Out of Office Rules?

[Guest]

Is there a way to set the Out of Office assistant not to send out to SPAM /
Junk Emails? Any rule I can set? Thanks for any help!

No, cause the OOF works after the message has been delivered to the mailbox.
Spam should be filtered before being delivered to the mailbox.

Try adding a rule for "FROM" that has all you email addresses you have in
your Address list. At least you will get those.

Yes, I was looking for a way to just set any mail sent to the Junk Mail
folder would not have any OOA messages sent to it. I know we can set
Exchange to not send any of these to external addresses but some people still
want this. As we all know also some spam / Junk mail does make it through so
it would have been nice for MS to just allow any mail that goes to a certain
folder will not have any outbound responses sent to it. Anyway, thanks for
your tips!

If YOU are defining a rule to emulate OOP then position it after your spam
rules (that have stop clauses since you obviously don't need to process any
more rules once a message has been tagged as spam).

If you are talking about the OOP function in the Exchange mail server, it is
entirely up to your Exchange admin to configure Exchange regarding to whom
the OOP mails get delivered. By default, Exchange is configured to *not*
send OOP mails to the outside (i.e., they only go to recipients within that
Exchange organization). If the OOP mails are going outside the Exchange
server out to Internet recipients, your Exchange admin [mis]configured it
that way.
