MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Restrict Out-of-office to internal contacts
OL2003. One of my users would like to restrict his out-of-office message to just go to senders within our organisation. I think that our Exchange admins could probably do this restricting (judging from other messages in this forum) but a Rule would seem more sensible. How can I/he set up an OOO rule that replies to messages from within the domain (e.g. *.ourfirm.com) but not to any others? Thank you in advance for considering this. > OL2003.

That's the default setting for Exchange, so presumably one of your Exchange admins changed it.- unfortunately, (not being an Exchange Expert) I don't think you can set this as a per-user setting - it's either all or none... > OL2003.

In addition to what Gordon says, I doubt you'd be able to test for "outfirm.com", since, internally, Exchange doesn't use internet addresses.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Thank you both for your quick and clear responses. Just after I posted it, I recognised my error in using an internet address in my example, but I will go back to the Exchange side for this. I suspect the user hasn't thought through banning *all* internet addresses in his OOO anyway. > > OL2003.

The admin can control it with remote domains. http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2008/up080313.htm#4 SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM ** Please include your Outlook version, Account type, and Windows Version when requesting assistance ** > Thank you both for your quick and clear responses.

I will be able to talk with my Exchange admin using the right words now!
