No "Out of Office" reply for remote e-mail addresses

[Guest]

We use Outlook 2002 and Exchange 2000 at the office.

Some users experienced a problem during the X-mas period.
The problem is simple: Out of office replies were sent
normaly on the cie subnet but any destination OUTSIDE of
our business domain didn't get Out of Office replies.

Is this a compatibility problem between Outlook and
Exchange or a problem specific to Outlook?

You advice will be apreciated.

Thank you,

Simon Parent

This is normal default behavior on Exchange 2000. Consult with the Exchange
administrator about how automatic replies and forwards to the Internet are
handled.

I wouldn't change the setting. The purpose of suppressing automatic external
replies is to avoid mail loops.
