Re: (your name here) is out of the office.
I certainly don't want my out-of-office assistant to auto-reply to Spam, but mine (Outlook 2003) allows me to select which domains get this reply. Interessting. We're on Outlook 2003 here, too, but my OoO agent doesn't offer exclude lists. Maybe this has been delete by our Windows support team?? Or, I just haven't found the place this is hidden.

From Darren's retirement posting After 26 years, I will be retiring from The University of Alabama effective December 1, 2007. It has been a wonderfulyeah, whatever. Anyhow, how does this affect you, the subscribers? It doesn't really. I will still be the list owner slapping your wrists. I won't have access to update my list exit with all my secret rules for denying your posts, which is why I disabled it recently. I also won't have any say so if the admins in power decide to ditch Listserv or some other drastic action. But, we'll see how things work out. OK, back to work everybody...
