-----Original Message----- From: Archie Call [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 3:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Ouut Oof Offfice responses - Security Risk Our company is proposing that we allow the Ouut Oof Offfice feature to be turned on for Internet Mail in Exchange 5.5. I have seen comments on this newsgroup discussing many security reasons for not doing this! I have looked in the PDF file but am have diffculty locating this discussion. I remember someone who wrote a little story that was very convincing. The downsides I see are: potential for mail looping (bugs in Exchange or Mailbox filled up); you tell the cyber crooks that you are gone and your house can be robbed; you tell the spammer they have a valid address; much increased mail traffic especially during a virus outbreat; you send numerous messages to everyone in a ListServer. If anyone has anything to add here, it would be greatly appreciated. ...Archie Call Note: I misspelled OOO so as not trigger your filter. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
