This argument about OOF's reached religious status back when Exchange was version 2000 and Office XP was the client of choice. John H.

There are "me's" and "I's" in *everyone's* response. We're all speaking from a position of personal experience and opinion; there are no rules carved in stone here. You don't like getting OOFs from mailing lists. I don't either. But based on the number that we get, it appears that quite a few list members do things the way I do. Does that make it right? It's neither right nor wrong--there is no right or wrong solution here. There's only personal preference. -----Original Message----- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 1:55 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can someone remove me from this list? John, no offense. But there are a lot of 'me's' and 'I's' in your response. You are projecting your needs and business practices on a community that, like you I am sure, don't need a bunch of OOF's in their inbox every time they reply to try and help someone. If you need OOF's that is fine, I totally understand that. But the list doesn't need your OOF's and you can work around it without too much trouble. Second mailbox, auto forward them to your inbox and when you reply use the 'from' option to change the from so the list accepts it. And then add a rule to not send OOF's to the forwarding mailbox. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us] > Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 1:36 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Can someone remove me from this list? > > It doesn't quite work that way in my world. > > Normally, people can expect an e-mail response from me very quickly. > If I'm in a position where my access to e-mail will be sporadic > (mobile devices don't work everywhere, so coverage while traveling is > spotty) or non-existent, I find it polite to let senders know this. > And based on the number of OOO responses I get when sending messages, > I'm not the only one. > > We were just discussing this topic in a class I'm taking.
