Before I went on holiday recently I set up an ims.ctl file and an autorply.txt file to let everyone know I was away.

 

When I got back there were 800+ emails awaiting me.

 

What did I do wrong?

 

A colleague set up an autoreply.txt file for a user _without_ an ims.ctl file and it worked fine!!

 

While on the subject of ims.ctl and associated files, is there any way of allowing the user to create/edit these files themselves?

 

We have all user mailboxes set up on the same server as ims, using the c:\mailboxes\%Username% format, so the users do _not_ have direct access to their mailboxes, only through pop3. (incidentally, does any one use the %home%/mailbox format for defining the location of a users mailbox?)
