[The Evaluator]

Office 2003

I changed the settings for the out of the office reply with a message already.

But it does not work. I emailed this user to test out and it doesn't reply
back out of office.

Is there another setting that I am missing? Thanks

Please describe this more completely. How did you enable it? Is the address
with which you are testing an internal or external address?

I changed it by going to tools > out of office reply > added the txt > done.

The out of office reply doesn't work for external or internal.

Thanks

Did you also choose the "I am currently Out of the Office" radio button? The
OOA won't work unless you did. On top of that, by default Exchange will not
send messages to outside addresses. The Exchange admin can modify that,
however.

I did choose the Out of the Office radio button. It is on for sure, because
each time I log in, it asks if I want to turn it off, and I leave it on.

I am the current training admin here. So I am still learning, where are the
Exchange settings? I will also see if I can find it. Thanks

Beats me. Ask in microsoft.public.exchange.admin

I took ten seconds to look in that newsgroup and it was very easy to find the
