Out of office message

[Mike Brester]

I have a computer here that is not sending out the out of office reply. I
can turn the message on and have a user send something to that account but
we get nothing in return. I have created this same user email account on a
different computer and I get the same result. We are running WinXP SP1 with
Outlook XP on Exchange 5.5. I have even done a fresh install of all apps on
a brand new computer and I still get the same results. Does any one have any
suggestions?

Is this happening for both internal and external recipients? Exchange 5.5
and later block automatic replies to the internet by default...

The accont in question is internal. It is not happening to everyone in the
office. Just one user. He will turn his out of office on but no one will get
the message that he is out of the office.

The only thing I can think of is that there is some server-side rule that is
interfering with the OOF...

Will look into it.
Talked to my server guy and he says there should not be because then it
would be affecting us globally instead of just with one user
