Humm... Seems like we could mitigate that risk with verbiage in the acceptable use policy on what is acceptable content to put into an OOO. No? I do recall your standard disclaimer on this "behavioral" approach. :) Granted, enforcing that portion of the policy would be a chore. Though someone would surely bring that point up.
So far, SPAM sounds like the only real solid ground. :( byron -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 5:39 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OOO to internet, still bad? The risk of a mail loop with OOO is small. However, consider the following: Byron Kennedy is out of the office vacationing in the south of France until the end of the summer. Please feel free to drop by his house at 123 Any Street, Anytown, USA, and help yourself to whatever is left. If you are a spammer, then you've hit a live mailbox! Tell your friends!

I know this has caused havoc on e-mail systems in the past. Is this still frowned on and if so, are there any "best-practices" available out there on how to enable a firm to provide this service effectively with exchange 2000, outlook 2000/xp and avoid pitfalls in the past? How do others articulate or provide work-arounds?
