Outlook 2003 rule for Out of Office auto reply not working

[Diver]

I'm new to this. I'm on vacation and one computer is turned off and the
other is logged off. I set up a rule to send an auto out of office reply
that worked when I tested it; however, now that Outlook is closed the rule is
not working. Does my computer have to be on - and logged in - for this rule
to work? I have a POP3 email server so I don't have an "out of office
assistant". Help please.

Yes, the computer needs to be turned on and downloading mail. If your mail
server has web interface for your account, see if it offers a vacation
reply. This will allow you to leave outlook turned off.
