I don't use Outlook in the office, but I do at home. Try to do it by going to 'Message Rules', 'Mail Rules', 'New'. Check 'Where To Line Contains people'. In the 3rd box, there is a blue line that says 'contains people', click on that and type in the listserv address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Go to the second box and check the box 'Stop Processing More Rules'. I don't know if this would work, but I'd try it before you give up.
In my office, we use GroupWise. Luckily, I can set up an out of the office rule to only reply to internal emails. I choose a filter to not send it to addresses that contain an '@' sign. For me, people outside of the office do not need to know whether I am there or not. Hope this helps. Jeff Jeffrey D.

When I go into the out-of-office assistant, I don't see any way of setting up a rule that says not to send one. Once I tried adding a rule to move the email to a different folder, because I thought it might move the message instead of sending the auto-reply, but it did both. The other option I see is to not use the out-of-office assistant and just set up email rules to send an email with an out-of-office message only to people in my company, but then I don't see how to limit it to just one reply to each sender, so they would be getting emails for every email message they send me, rather than just one for the duration of my absence. I've looked, I've tried, I've failed, I need help. -----Original Message----- From: Vijay Rao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FW: AUTO **** REPLIES! Microsoft Outlook, Lotus CC Mail and Novell Groupwise all support auto-reply based on conditions. It only takes a *little* extra effort to setup a smart auto-reply. Besides it saves all the zillion useless messages, makes your and everyone else's email server run that much better. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5/13/02 11:04 AM Subject: Re: AUTO **** REPLIES! great idea, but I don't see anyway of not auto replying to the MQ listers while continuing to auto reply to others.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] .at 05/13/2002 10:47 AM Please respond to MQSERIES At the risk of getting another fifty auto replies... here goes Can people who subscribe to this list please make sure when they go on holiday or out of the office for a day they do not send an auto reply back to the list. There are some obvious reason for this a/ For security you shouldn't be telling people all over the world your away. Its not difficult to find out where someone lives these days! b/ Some people still use dial up, and it does kind of discourage you from contributing to the list if you know you going to get shed loads of unsolicited junk back. c/ There's enough junk flying around the web as it is. Please show some consideration and ignorance is no excuse any more. Perhaps people on the list should all respond to auto replies to discourage the offenders.
