Out of Office Assistant

[Stevens]

I have Outlook 2003 in conjunction with Exchange 2003. When I use the Out of
Office Assistant to create text to let people know I am on vacation, etc, it
seems to only work for people who email me within my domain. If I email
myself from my personal account @comcast.net or anyone else emails me from
their personal account they do not get my Out of the Office message.

I guess I was under the assumption that this would work regardless of who
emailed you. Perhaps I am wrong or am setting up the Out of Office message
incorrectly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

No, that's the default setting in Exchange Server. You need to ask your
Exchange Admin if they are willing to change the setting..(many are not
willing....)

That's interesting. I have wondered why some people in list-servers
that I belong to reply "out of office" to the external list, while
others don't.

It should be a user controlled option.

That's kind of what I thought. Thank you for your help.
