Exchange 2007 Rules
I tried to setup a rule for one of our mailboxes that auto-replied to every email sent to it, something like "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
RE: Exchange 2007 Rules
you have to allow auto replies on the send connector.

RE: Exchange 2007 Rules
That is an org level setting on the properties of the entries on the Remote Domains tab. It can be allowed for specific external domains or all domains but I am not aware of a way to allow it only for an individual sender to many domains. -Original Message- From: McCready, Rob [mailto:rob.mccrea...@dplinc.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 10:41 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2007 Rules I tried to setup a rule for one of our mailboxes that auto-replied to every email sent to it, something like "Thank you for contacting the complaint department, we really care, blah blah blah".

RE: Exchange 2007 Rules
Yeah, if you want it for only one user/many domains, you are going to need to create a transport rule, not a mailbox rule (and without checking, I can't remember in exchange 2007 whether that might need to be an Edge rule instead of a Hub rule - in exchange 2010, the Hub can do them all).

RE: Exchange 2007 Rules
I tried to enable a transport rule, but I see no option for "reply to sender" All I see is... Log an event with message Prepend the subject with string Apply message classification Append disclaimer text using font Set the spam confidence level Set header with value Remove header Add a recipient in the To field addresses Copy the message to address Blind carb copy the message to addresses Redirect the message to addresses Send bounce message to sender with enhanced status code Silently drop the message -Original Message- From: Michael B.

RE: Exchange 2007 Rules (automat1c rep1y/forward)
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.

If you find the user in AD, right click properties > Exchange General > Delivery options and use the forwarding options there?

RE: Exchange 2007 Rules (automat1c rep1y/forward)
Hmm. Does that actually forward email outside the company though? If so, you probably have "automatic forwarding" checked on the Exchange 2003 Server? I have been unable to setup a rule that will work outside the company without turning on auto-forward or auto-reply for every mailbox. Curses. From: Ellis, John P.

Im sure Autoforwarding/Autoreply is turned off.
