Using Out of Office in an Exchange Environment

[snmcpa]

I am using Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 in our office for email. We have an
exchange server. We use out of office assistant for internal notification
when we are not in the office. However, we are trying to set up out of
office replies that will go to external email senders. I have tried using the
rules wizard, but it requires that your email be up and running for it to
reply. Since we do not leave our computers up when we are away from the
office, this is not working. Any ideas?

Out of office replies go to all senders, as long as the Exchange administrator isn't blocking replies to the Internet.

Thanks for the help. I followed some instructions for to the microsoft
exchange administrator from the knowledge base but it's not showing on my
server. Guess I will have to get the folks who set this up to find it.
