auto reply message

[carrie]

How do you have an auto response message to incoming mail
while you are on vacation

 

[Alana]

If you select Tools menu then Out of Office Assistant,
then select the Out of Office option, this will set up an
auto reply. You can also type a customized message.

Sincerely,

Alana

Please note that this is only for if you are in an Exchange environment (ask
your administrator if you do not know).

If you are not in an Exchange environment you can create a rule that replies
on all e-mails. The downside of this is that you'll have to have your
Outlook open all the time for the rules to process. Make sure you set some
exceptions (for instance based on the subject field so it will not reply on
subject with e.g. reply, failed, undeliverable, etc...) otherwhise you could
create endless mailloops between two mailservers and those can be a real
threat to the mailservers!
