Out of Office

[Guest]

I have an out of office reply for an employee that when he receives a email
its is forwarded to his secretary. However this only seems to be working for
intenal email. How can I set this up for both enternal and external email.

In an Exchange environments, OOA works only for inside addresses unless your
Exchange admin changes that option.

I'm the Exchange Admin. How do I configure that on the exchange server.

Hi George,

OOF works for internal by default because that the stuff states sometimes
may be confidential information to external.

We have two workaround to enable external OOF.

1. Create a server auto-reply rule.

2. Enable external OOF on Exchange server.

Note: after adjusted this setting on Exchange server, external OOF will be
enabled on all local users.

Hope the info helps.

PS: If you have questions regarding Exchange server in further, it would be
best if you could post them in Exchange newsgroup. So you will get the most
qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the newsgroups
regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction
with us. Thank you for your understanding.
