You could also try an experiment with some of the people who did not receive the autoresponder mail (and obviously have reported that fact to you): Send them the identical message from Entourage yourself. If it gets through to them, the content of the message is not the problem, and Lars is probably right about the provider being blocked. You know that it is possible to use Entourage to send auto-response mail, don't you? (I do it all the time.) If you want something more sophisticated than the built-in "Reply" rule action (which sends identical message to everyone, no customizing with user's name and such, and does not allow attachments), you'd have to use an AppleScript. I do that. It can be a little annoying because Entourage takes off on its own and I have to wait until the message has started sending before I can do anything (a few seconds), but as it happens less than once a day for me, I put up with it. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
