Hey you could reverse the logic here and use this as an important point about mail box limits cool thanks bill -----Original Message----- From: Darcy Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 2:15 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OOO to internet, still bad? I was recently forced to enable OOO to the Internet. Our sales weasels couldn't comprehend that customers might prefer to be contacted directly by a "delegate" than have to send a second message to an address they got out of an OOO. Result? We saw a massive jump in spam within a week of enabling OOO to the Internet. I'm on record with my manager, the department director, the VP and the CTO as objecting to enabling OOO to the Internet for that reason among other's. Loops? Yep - you can still get them. We had an internal one when a user enabled OOO, than added a secondary "reply to every message" rule to his OOO. He hit an automated reply mailbox and the two exchanged "unique" messages until his mailbox filled up and the Send limits kicked in.

I strongly discourage it in our firm. Usually the most effective argument against for me has been spam -- we all know that it's a bad idea to reply to spammers confirming that your address is legitimate. Throw OOO on somebody's account and I suspect that their spam load will significantly increase in the weeks and months ahead as they get added to every spammer's "Gold List" of valid e-mail addresses. There are also security issues and the occasional technical reason not to do it. Instead what we recommend people do is turn on their secretary's account as an alternate recipient while they are away and the secretary is instructed to handle any crucial issues that come up, including notifying legitimate correspondants, if any, that the person is out of the office and will reply when they return. -Ben- Ben M.
