The problem is that the Outlook rules only run while the client is open.
The change Server processes the OOO rule when your mail arrives there. If
you left Outlook running and set a rule to auto reply to all messages
(excepting your mailing lists) with an OOO message I think it would work.
You'd also have to have it periodically connect to the mail server.
The weak side to this arrangement is if your computer crashes, someone else
closes Outlook, you have a power outage, etc. then the auto reply stops
working.

That was my impression, too, but I was hoping that there was another
way. It seems like rules should be powerful enough to accomplish this
somehow without requiring any special functionality on the part of the
SMTP server...

Exeverything in OL2002 points to needing Exchange for this...I could be
wrong though...!

Subject: OT: Sending 0ut 0f 0ffice replies w/ Outlook
I really ate to post OT like this, but I can't seem to find the answer
to this one.
How do I configure Outlook (XP/2002) to automatically send out-of-office
replies if I'm NOT using Exchange as my e-mail server? Is this even
possible? I've found lots of info on how to do it with Exchange, but not
without.
And if it's possible to do without Exchange, how do I go about making
sure that I don't send them to mailing lists? I've been so critical of
others who do this that I would be terribly embarrassed to do it myself!
