Hi,.
Thanks for posting here.
From your problem description, I understand this issue to be: The out of
office assistant does not work. If I have misunderstood your concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know.
By default, the out-of-office reply to Internet recipients is turned off.
Many administrators do not allow out-of-office replies to be sent outside
the Exchange Server organization, so that unauthorized people do not know
when users are out of the office.
To turn on out-of-office replies to the Internet, follow these steps:
1. On the Exchange server, start Exchange System Manager.
2. Double-click Global Settings, and then click Internet Message Formats.
3. In the Details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click
Properties. The default SMTP domain is "*".
4. In the Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click to
select the Allow out of office responses check box. This turns on
out-of-office responses to the Internet for the selected domain.
5. Stop the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Microsoft Exchange
Routing Engine services, and then restart them.
After above steps, please test your issue again. If the problem persists,
please let me know the following information.
1. Please le me know if the users inside SBS org could receive the OOF?
2. Did you see any error event related with OOF in the event log?
3. If you create a new user, could this issue be reproduced?
4. If you create a new Outlook profile, does the issue persist?
For Outlook 2003, please refer to following article:
829918 How to create a new e-mail profile in Outlook 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=829918
5. Check the rules in the Outlook. Disable all rules and have a test.
Moreover, OOF assistant sends OOF replies to every sender only once. i.e.
if you receive an OOF reply from this user once, when you send another
message to the user, you will not receive the OOF reply again until the
user has disabled and re-enabled OOF assistant. Thus, every time before you
tested this issue, please disable and re-enable OOF assistant.
If you have any questions or concerns related to this issue, please let me
know.
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.
Have a nice day!
Best Regards,
Chace Zhang (MSFT)
