Sorry, but that is NOT Out of Office. That is a rule that was set up. Out of Office fires only ONCE per sender. Period. Allowing autoforwarding to the internet will cause mail loops, but not Out of office to the internet.
BTW - relating to the original question, it is VERY possible to turn on or allow Out of Office replies to the internet while still disasbling Automatic replies to the internet. They are 2 very different things. If you look at the properties of your Internet Mail Service connector, under the Advanced options, you will see the different options. This response doesn't mean that I necessarily support or advocate the use of Out of Office, but for those companies that do, this is a viable option.

One of our customers insisted we turn it on. We did so. Then @Home went out of business, but someone with OOO turned on still managed to get a message from someone @home.net. OOO sent to @home.net, but got a bounce message back. That bounce message trigger the OOO again. The system looped like that until over 50,000 messages had been processed and 2+ GB of disk space had been consumed by transaction log files, at which point the IS crashed. It took several hours to clean up the mess. OOO is turned off, now. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | not | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, | entity or | organization.
