out of office not working part 2

Mike

Hi,
I have Office XP, and even when I send to myself a test e-
mail my out of office does not work. I tried all that was
suggested below and still not workind.
Thank you for your help but I need some more, any other
ideas?
Thanks

Mike






Can you send yourself a message with Out of Office turned
on? Turn it off
and then turn it on to ensure you are getting the first
copy. Also, if you
are using Outlook 2002, turn on mail logging
(Tools->Options->Other->Advanced) and report back what
you get when you try
this.

Note - please report any differences between people who
get them and those
who do not. Are there any rules in place that would
delete such messages?
Do the users automatically delete such messages (I do so
that is why I ask)?
What version(s) of Outlook are you using?

Couple of things that you do not mention so I will -

1. The Out of Office message will only be sent once to a
unique recipient.
2. The Out of Office message will only be sent
internally unless the
Exchange admin turns on "replies to the Internet"
and "forwards to the
Internet".
3. Rules on the recipient's machines can interfere with
the OoOA message,
such as one that deletes messages with specific words in
the OoOA message.

mail

| Any idea why?
