Re: Auto replay

Ok - if you want autoreply, but can live with no bounces, then what you
would need to do is go into the global settings in ESM and allow Automatic
replies to the Internet (Global Settings, Internet Message Format, Default
Properties, Advanced tab). Now, be aware that enabling automatic replies
can leave you vulnerable to a mail loop, which can literally cripple a
server. If you still want to do an automatic reply, then you can set up a
rule in Outlook to reply to each message. You should be able to set up said
rule to be a Server-side rule, so Outlook wouldn't need to remain open, but
unfortunately there isn't anything at the server level that can do this.

Well, boss wants the autoreply with customized message. I have out of
office
a the moment. If we can do it some other more inteligent way that will be
great ( on the server level)

Ah - you mean auto-reply.

I don't think you can accomplish both. If you want to bounce all mail,
then
Exchange isn't going to autoreply with a user-specific message.
Currently,
NDR's cannot be customized, though that functionality will exist in
Exchange
2007.

Decide which is more important (NDR all mail, or autoreply with
user-specific message) and let us know so the appropriate answer can be
provided.

Have bunch of users who recently departed from the company. Boss wants
us
to
auto replay to all of the incoming messages to those mailboxes with
separate
(user specific) messages. Also, he would like us to bounce the messages
too.
Any ideas on how to do this on Exchange 2003 Enterprise SP2 and Office
XP,
Office 2003? So far I have set up out of office for each user but will
send
the bounce message only once and will still receive the mail. Please
help.
