You can use Message Rules in Outlook Express (OE4: Inbox Assistant) to automatically reply
to incoming messages. But there are some problems with this:
- You must leave the computer running constantly while gone
- It must be set to send and receive messages on a schedule
- It must not encounter any errors or else it will stop and wait for user intervention
- If you belong to any mailing lists be sure to unsubscribe or else make sure that the
rules will exclude replies to the list. Otherwise you will cause an avalanche of messages
to the list.
If your mail sever provides a vacation response, this is better handled on the server.
(Note that the caution about mailing lists also applies to server based vacation
responses.)
