By default OOF messages do not go to the internet, nor should they. david -----Original Message----- From: Alex Alborzfard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 17 September, 2002 10:44 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OOA questions Ok so a 3rd party tool is needed. 1- Maybe it's easy, but it's not a very efficient method. But thanks, I'll check those sites. 2- OWA would work best when user is away and has no access to his/her computer. Maybe I'm wrong but doesn't turning off the auto-replies disables generating auto-reply and not the Out-of-Office messages and only to the Internet? This would have no effect on internal emails. --Alex -----Original Message----- From: Morrison, Mike L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 8:30 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OOA questions 1- Easiest way I can think of is send a message to al users and see which one's send back Out of Office replies. If a tool exists, it's either at www.cdolive.com, www.mail-resources.com [1], or www.slipstick.com. 2- OWA could be used, but it amounts to the same thing as logging into the user's mailbox. You could turn off auto-replies to the internet at your IMS [2] to block all of them.

Can OWA be used to do this?
