Here also. We went round and round, and I finally took the attitude, "I can tell you what are the pros and cons, and my recommendation. However, you do pay me, so I will do as you ask". Ultimately, the PHB decided to allow OOF to the internet.

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.
