MS Office Forum / Outlook / 3rd Party Utilities / June 2004Out Of Office for outlook 2000
Good day all, Anyone knows of a utility which will do the "Out Of Office" when following conditions are in place: 1- The Exchange global setting does not allow OOF (default setting) 2- Third party OOF should work even if the client is not running, (Server based rules) Thank you all, Saeed > Good day all, > > Anyone knows of a utility which will do the "Out Of Office" when > following conditions are in place: > > 1- The Exchange global setting does not allow OOF (default setting) Actually, Out of Office *is* set to work by default - just not to the Internet. I don't know of any way to bypass this other than just enabling it on the server. > 2- Third party OOF should work even if the client is not running, > (Server based rules) Don't know of anything other than autoreply rules, and if your server is set to deny out of office to the internet, it's probably also set to deny autoreply to the Internet (which is a good thing to leave as is). > Thank you all, > Saeed Yes you're right I meant to say "out of office" to the internet which is off by default, here is some hint as how we may be able to do it but we still look for something "out of the box" unless of course none exist: About Rules http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/exchserv/html/compnent_325v.asp?frame=true About the Rule Component http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/exchserv/html/comcpnts_2qgk.asp?frame=true HOWTO: Use the Rule.dll Sample to Create an Inbox Rule from Visual Basic http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;251125 HOW TO: Create an Out-Of-Office Rule with Extended MAPI http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308281 > > Good day all, > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Thank you all, > > Saeed OK - I've never played with any of this stuff. Maybe it's better if I just ask what your ultimate goal is? To send out of office autoreplies to only certain senders? Or to just bypass the 'off by default' setting? If the latter, I don't see why you wouldn't just open up OOO autoreply to the Internet and be done with it. Of course, OOO replies to any and all, including spammers, so you ought to have some good content filtering software in place or a service like www.postini.com to prevent spam from being delivered in the first place. > Yes you're right I meant to say "out of office" to the internet which > is off by default, here is some hint as how we may be able to do it > but we still look for something "out of the box" unless of course > none exist: > > About Rules http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/exchserv/html/compnent_325v.asp?frame=true > About the Rule Component http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/exchserv/html/comcpnts_2qgk.asp?frame=true > HOWTO: Use the Rule.dll Sample to Create an Inbox Rule from Visual > Basic [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>> Thank you all, >>> Saeed The "ultimate goal" is to control who can send OOO to the internet and who cannot. In a multirouting group exchange environment default settings only allows or disallows for all or none. More specifically we want some routing groups to be allowed and some not.
