The OP posted the same query to a non-MS News group called 24hoursupport.helpdesk. Most News servers carry it.... So, is the OP going to tell us if it's OE or Outlook? Makes a difference as to the answer. If Outllook, is an exchange server involved? Makes a difference as to the answer. Rather than playing net nanny, are *you* going to help or not help? : So Tom and Diane, are you gonna help or spend more time trying to : figure out if there are cross-postings? : : to help or not to help, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altruism : : Mike I would have, had Vanguard not answered the question already - "That should be the normal configuration within Exchange. When using Exchange as the e-mail server, and, I believe, with the default setup, the OOO (Out Of Office) replies should only be sent to Exchange subscribers (i.e., employees within the same Exchange organization). A company does not want to look stupid in not being able to cover for employee absences or termination in not having a suitable alternate assigned to accept those e-mails. A company also doesn't want to help spambots determine which are valid e-mail addresses. Talk to whomever is the Exchange admin at your company. They'll know if the auto-responder in Exchange is configured to deliver those auto-replies to only other Exchange subscribers or if they are allowed for externally received e-mails.

How would you then send > an "unavailable" response then? Two options - firstly, your ISP may have a "vacation" function on it's webmail - many do nowadays. Secondly, you can create a rule to send an email. the downside of that is that your machine must be on with Outlook running 24/7, and you would have to be very careful how you constructed the rule to avoid sending replies to spam.
