All righty, I've done some more research. From the recommendations/best practices I've found, we should NOT check the box to "Allow automatic replies" or "Allow automatic forward" outside the company. It can....
1. Cause mail loops 2. Invite more spam 3. Leak company data that may have not otherwise been forwarded if the user had to do it manually. Is anybody else using a 3rd party tool or service to allow an automatic reply for ONE mailbox??? It appears the Exchange 2007 option is an all or nothing thing. We would LIKE to just allow an auto reply from ONE particular mailbox that customers send issues into, without turning the option on for every mailbox in the company.

"Thank you for contacting the complaint department, we really care, blah blah blah". However, it appears to only work internally. I think there's a setting somewhere on Exchange 2007 that says..."Do not auto-forward outside the company". Is it possible to turn this option off on an individual mailbox basis, or is it an all or nothing thing? Thanks. Rob
