Mine too - like Ed/Andy (and probably loads of others) I also never use the feature, normally to "you were out of the office and your OOF wasn't on - people won't know you're not around (that's part of the point!)
At one point there was an order from the level above to enforce it on my mailbox, fortunately my team are well trained to go nowhere near my preferences EVER.

I agree. My esteemed employer allows out of office notifications to the Internet, so I never use the feature.

My employer allows OOFs , but I never set it because I dont think its anyone's business outside of the company where I am, and I dont need to help out any spammers by verifiing my address. (Note that you can specify allowed OOFs by domain) FWIW, Exchange 2003 will *not* send OOFs if the user is not specified in the TO: or CC: field. (Re: your mailing list storm). .Auto-replies to the Internet are bad for that reason and for the potential mail-loops they can cause. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ml.exchange" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 12:13 PM Subject: What is the Current thinking on OOF to the Internet? > 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.
