But again, the situation you speak of is not, in fact, the Out of Office Assistant Rule within Outlook. Instead, it is a rule that has been set up by the user that is masquerading as OOA. And if you have Automatic Replies to the Internet turned off, I don't believe that this particular type rule can fire. Correct me if I am wrong here. But pointing to OOA as the cause of a mail loop such as that is not correct, as it was not OOA that caused the loop. It was a separate rule, and having Automatic replies to the internet enabled as well.

Not necessarily by the OOO itself with the current version of Exchange, but most likely by some type of rule the User has set up. About 4 years ago, at a company in Richmond, VA, I was involved in a major OOO loop. Filled up the data drive and shutdown the services. This was when Exchange OOO every message, even if it had already sent an OOO to that User.

The threat risk is low, but not 0. One really could purposefully set up a mail loop with an OOO response if they had the notion. -----Original Message----- From: Durkee, Peter To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 7/31/2002 6:30 PM Subject: RE: OOF Messages to the Internet ...but they're friendly lawyers, really. Seriously though, we do allow OOFs to the net, by friendly lawyer request, and if you really can get it to loop I'd very much like to know about it. -Peter _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
