Some rules are server based and some are client based. As I understand it,
if the server can run the rule it will. Otherwise the client will run it.
An example would be an Exchange 5.0 server and an Outlook 2002 client. The
Outlook can run more sophisticated rules than the older Exchange, so it has
to run them.
I did just overhear in the hallway that there is a setting somewhere that
says 'don't send OOF replies to the internet'. Apparently it's for security
reasons. We're probably going to turn that on and get the added bonus of
not having to unsub from lists.

I can live with this, actually. When I'm out, I leave Outlook running
because I can't seem to HotSync my Palm with it properly if it's not
running.
The question is, what type of rule do I set up? I'm no expert on Outlook
rules. I've created a sample one that seems to be on the right track,
but it's not quite working. I'm using a rule that is applied to all
messages addressed just to me, and I chose the "Reply using a specific
template" option. This seemed the most logical choice. I've not worked
with templates before, though.
Does anyone know if I'm headed in the right direction with this?

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!
