Out of Office

[Ger Clear]

I'm using outlook 2002 and when I turn on out of office
it does not work. It does not send people a mail
indicating that i'm out of office, instead it allows the
mail to arrive. I am using exchange 2000 as my mail
server.

This was working and all of a sudden it stopped.

If I setup a new user and mail box the out of office will
work for that user.

Please help

Is this for external users or internal users? If external, this is by
design on Exchange to deny replies and forwards to the Internet.

This is for internal and external users

Suggest you work with the administrators of the mail server you are
using to find out if they offer this service for you. There is nothing
in Outlook to make it happen other than it has "hooks" into Microsoft
Exchange Servers (it's the server that does the notifications).

Keep in mind the security implications of making announcements to
external email that "i'm not here"

1. it announces you are "not here".
2. it informs senders of SPAM mail that your email address is "good".
