How Do I get Outlooks out of office assistant to work for e-mails received from the internet?

June 15, 2007 1:00 PM

Our organization's MS Outlook out of office assistant is not working for e-mails received from outside the organization. Why is this and is there a way to fix it?

We use Exchange Server 03 on Server 03 with clients using Outlook 03. I can turn the out of office assistant on, and it works for inter-office e-mail just not e-mails coming in from the outside internet.

This is usually turned off in Exchange, generally for security reasons. You might be able to create a work-around with rules on the client-side in Outlook, though...

Best answer: The administrator sets that up. I think it is an all or nothing proposition. Where I work, they had it on internal only but eventually enabled it due to employee demand.
