Outlook 2007 - INCOMING email receipt

[Senor Martinez]

I am trying to set up a receipt to where if someone sends me an email, my
email will automatically write them back some kind of acknowledgement email
advising them that their email was received and will be answered in 2-3
business days. Any ideas if this can be done???? Thanks!!!

You can create a rule that will automatically reply, but it won't be ideal.
Outlook remembers the people to whom automatic replies are sent and will send
only one reply per Outlook session. As long as Outlook continues to run, if
those people write again, they won't get another automatic reply.
