Auto reply

[Kari]

Does anyone know how to set up an auto reply? I need some
kind of message to be sent out when I am out of the office
to anyone that tries to email me.

Select Tools, Out of Office Assistant.

But see my posting, this will reply to everyone in the
world who gets into your mailbox to let them know your
email address is valid.

No, it won't. This is only applicable if the OP connects to Exchange Server,
and most Sysops do NOT change the default settings, which only allow for OOO
replys internally.

This is interesting. It may be that our corporate email
is not set up optimally. Could you provide a little more
information about this that I could forward to our Outlook
administrator, or point me to some URL that discusses
this. thanks for the idea.

Unfortunately I'm not an Exchange expert - but your Admin must have changed
the settings - the DEFAULT is NOT to reply to Internet mail.
