OOF has always been a bone of contention. My belief is that it is becoming more accepted as time goes on. We use it here now. Nobody has been robbed yet, and we have seen no issues. As for auto replies to the internet, I have taken some heat for not allowing it, but have stuck to my guns. I have seen first hand the damage they can do on more than one occasion. I would offer a compromise. Yes to OOF, no to Auto replies.

Looks like it is that time of the year again, strong pressure from the top has arrived trying to mandate the use of the Out of Office and auto response to the Internet. Even though we have helped cause mailing list storms in the past when it was forced on for a sales convention (thus leading to it's current banishment) once again users want it enabled. Any thoughts on the subject to help enlighten the PHB's would be again most welcome. Thanks in advance all.
