The function of "out of office assistant" only autoReply once to each
sender.
Is it possible to autoreply on every incoming messages?
I have tried using the rule, however it also only autoreply once to each
sender.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

No, this is by design to prevent mail loops.

Envision this:

The Exchange Admin has enabled replies and forwards to the Internet. Some
clueless Luser turns on forwarding to his Hotmail account. (Really happens,
honest). They exceed their hotmail limit. The message to Hotmail generates
an "Over Limit" message back to the Exchange org, whereupon the Exchange org
sends an OoOA message, which triggers an Over Limit message from Hotmail...
ad nauseum.

I have seen several Exchange organizations brought to their knees by the
endless loops created while enabling replies and forwards to the Internet.
If you ever get to a meeting of Exchange admins and tell them that you have
this enabled by default, be prepared to run for your life.... tar and
feathers to follow closely upon your heels.
