That should be the normal configuration within Exchange. When using
Exchange as the e-mail server, and, I believe, with the default setup,
the OOO (Out Of Office) replies should only be sent to Exchange
subscribers (i.e., employees within the same Exchange organization).
A company does not want to look stupid in not being able to cover for
employee absences or termination in not having a suitable alternate
assigned to accept those e-mails. A company also doesn't want to help
spambots determine which are valid e-mail addresses.

Talk to whomever is the Exchange admin at your company. They'll know
if the auto-responder in Exchange is configured to deliver those
auto-replies to only other Exchange subscribers or if they are allowed
for externally received e-mails.

It was also posted in an Outlook *Express* newsgroup...so, is it Outlook or
OE? ;-)

look at the reply I posted in 24hoursupport.helpdesk, which was the starter
for the thing about crossposting instead of multiposting....

So, is the OP going to tell us if it's OE or Outlook? Makes a difference as
to the answer.

If Outllook, is an exchange server involved? Makes a difference as to the
answer.

Rather than playing net nanny, are *you* going to help or not help?

I would have, had Vanguard not answered the question already -

"That should be the normal configuration within Exchange. When using

But where is that reply? This message was posted to
microsoft.public.outlook.general & microsoft.public.outlook newsgroups - not
your helpdesk site.
