If CDO live (http://www.cdolive.com) does not have a code sample to do this, I believe Herr Weber could be contracted to write such a solution in short order.

I suspect this discussion is going to head deep into "There are seldom technological solutions..." country. Please bear with me. A number of our users are moaning about OoO only sending out one response per OoO setting. It seems that they send a message to a user near the start of their three week holiday, get the OoO response, then promptly forget about this (and the fact that they can view the users calendar at any time) and send the user mail some time the next week and wonder why the work they sent never gets done. As the client doesn't have to be running for OoO to be working (it would be pretty useless, if it did) I'm guessing that OoO must be handled on the server somehow. My guess is that Exchange is going to set some kind of "sent-OoO-flag" Does anybody know if/where this flag is set? Presuming this is the case, is it possible to write a batch job that ran as an overnight process resetting these flags to zero, so that you got one OoO response, per user, per day - which seems like a reasonable compromise. This would remind users that their correspondents were on holiday, even three weeks after the last e-mail was sent, but would prevent mailing loops. (PS I know you can use rules to automatically reply, but the idea of a rule automatically replying to every message, fills me with a dread fear of mail loops.) _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
