Automatic replies that are setup *correctly* will NOT cause mail loops... Allowing OOFS to the internet:
<Tom Meunier> "I'm not in, but you have hit and now verified a live address. Please put me on your "A" list for resale to other spammers." "I'm the president of the company, and obviously wealthy. Since I've just told you I'm away for two weeks, please go to the county tax assessor's web site and look up the location of my residence. Help yourself." "Hello customer. I'm not in, and you can try contacting someone else in my firm who wants your business. The bonus is, however, all on you, as I'm too lazy to delegate my email to somebody else while away. Please don't go visit our competitor, who is far too professional to send you an ascii answering machine message like this." </Tom Meunier> -----Original Message----- From: Sargent, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 12:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OOF replies to the Internet Though we'd never open automatic replies to the Internet, in reading some of the discussions in the archives it appears some don't see a problem with allowing OOFs to the Internet. How does this work to avoid mail loops? ...does it just send one reply per sender, in the same way it works internally? Also, I'm assuming that the "auto-reply to the Internet issue" remains the same for Exchange 2000 as in 5.5 = BAD. True? Thanks!
