I have had lot of issues with users whining about their clients not getting
their OOF messages.
Even though it was fully functional.
Users need to be aware of the following conditions when
using Microsoft Outlook Out of Office Assistant
1. 1. An Out of Office message or OOF is sent *only once* to any
single address - internal or external.
2. Any rules applied in addition to the OOF may hinder or overrule
its functionality.
3. Out of Office Assistant may not work if multiple delivery options or auto
forward is enabled.
4. Receiving an OOF message on a foreign e-mail system is entirely
dependent on their respective ISPs. It is not uncommon to experience delays
ranging from a few minutes
to several hours. Very often users expect OOF message to reach an alien
recepient's inbox right away or within a few minutes.
hope this helps

Subject: OOF Messages to the Internet
Hello everyone,
Currently I have "Automatic Replies to Internet" disabled in our server. My
administrators want me to turn it on so that outside people that they
correspond with get their OOF messages. I know it's not a good idea to do
this because of mail looping and automatic replies to listservers. Could
someone give me specific examples or pointers on how can I justify not doing
it or your opinions on why it's safe or not?
Thanks.
Sandhya
