Would you follow the request if HR said it was OK to put the server on the Internet to ease remote access problems?. Tell them it's a human resource issue, they either pay for your over time to fix the server when it breaks [1] and for the loss to the rest of the company during the server outage or for someone to read the emails. Also it makes the company appear a lot more professional into the bargain as suggested by Ray & Tom.

I told them the consequences and they seem alright with that, so I'm going to give it to them. And when the system crashes from a mail loop. Then maybe they will start listening to me a bit more. But what I explained earlier should work? I don't need to do anything special for this to work right? ___________________ John Bowles Exchange Administrator Enterprise Support & Engineering Celera Genomics [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- From: Ray Zorz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 10:08 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook Rules Problem Wouldn't it make more sense to forward the e-mails to the correct person and let them answer it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bowles, John L. Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 7:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook Rules Problem Yea I know this is a bad idea. But they want to use this for 30 days because someone important left the company and they want everyone sending him email to know that he no longer works here. Not my idea! I already told them I don't like it. So if that happens, I'll just sit back here laughing at their stupid a$$es. ___________________ John Bowles Exchange Administrator Enterprise Support & Engineering Celera Genomics [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- From: Randal, Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 9:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook Rules Problem And what happens to you when someone auto-replies to your auto-reply???
