Out of Office Message

[Christie]

Is there some way that we can setup the out of office
message to be sent each time an email comes in. I know as
of right now it only sends out the message to each
original sender once, but would like it to send each time
an email comes in. Any ideas? Thanks!!

No, because it's set up that way to prevent endless mail loops from
happening. Picture this scenario: You have the OOA turned on, and so
does Joe Bloggs, and there is no limit to how many times the out of
office message can be sent to a particular recipient. Joe Bloggs sends
you a message right before leaving his office. Your OOA catches it and
sends him an auto reply. HIS OOA catches your reply and auto replies
back. Your OOA catches HIS auto reply and auto replies back again.
With the speed of most mail servers and connections these days, can you
see how quickly this could bring both servers to a crashing halt?
