I have a test account for each of the UK and AU servers, and used OWA to turn OoO off and on. I then tested internally, to make sure that an internal account sending them email generates an OoO. Testing from an external account yields bupkiss, but I figured that it required time for replication.
I have tested just now - about after about three hours after making the change - and IT WORKS! Thanks for the tip, John. You've solved one of my nagging problems.
