OOA for Contacts Only?

[mtdave]

I'm running SBS 2003 and Exchange SP2. I understand that OOA will only
auto-reply to internal users due to spam issues.

However, we'd like it to autoreply to internet users as well but only
those that exist in a user's contact list.

1. Is this possible?
2. If yes, do I need to enable anything on the server?
3. If I need to enable anything on the server, will non-contacts (i.e.
spammers) receive the OOO message?

Thanks very much.

you can't set it up for contacts only - you could use rules instead.

Thanks Diane,

Not sure what you mean. Can I manually add all contacts to a rule? If
so, do I have to change anything on the server to still allow
non-domain users (but not ones in my "approved" list) to get the
response?

Appreciate the thoughts.
