Is the best course to suspend or > unsubscribe to these? No. If you use Entourage's Mailing List Manager to handle mail from these lists, you can add the criteria 'is not from mailing list' to your auto responder rule. Then, the auto response will go out to ordinary mail, but not to mailing lists. > > I assume I have to leave a computer up & running. Yes, and with a schedule to check mail at regular intervals. Remember, the auto response won't get sent out until the check AFTER the one in which the mail was received. > > Won't this cause my machine to respond to junk mail, which I thought was bad > idea. You can likewise add a criteria for 'is not junk'. Make sure you set the toggle to 'all criteria are met' -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the All-New Entourage Help Pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- 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/>
