Ton, You could use the schedule service to run batch files that create or delete a vacation.ima file. You could have several different ones that way, too. You could have the "gone for the weekend" and the "gone for the evening" and the "out to lunch" and of course the famous "taking a break" ones.
For example: ::daydream.txt "Hello, I appreciate your E-mail, but I am taking a mental break. I will reply to your E-mail when finish day-dreaming about beautiful young women tending to my every whim on a tropical island where they think I am the King of the Universe. Ton" ::activatedd.bat d: cd\imail\mail_private_com\users\ton del vacation.ima copy daydream.txt vacation.ima exit ::deactivatedd.bat d: cd\imail\mail_private_com\users\ton del vacation.ima exit Then go to the schedule tasks folder and create a job to run activatedd.bat every hour on the hour from 9 to 6 M-F, and deactivatedd.bat at 10 minutes after the hour every hour from 9 to 6 M-F. You'll be the King of Out of Office Responders at least.
