Out-of-Office not working

[Emyeu]

I have enable the Out-of-Office assistance in my MS Outlook 2003. My
colleagues claimed that some of them received the OOF notification after
they sent email to me while some colleagues did not received. What could be
the caused???

Were the addresses of the collegues that didn't receive the mail external
addresses?

i noticed something!
user who sent email to me the first time will received the out-of-office
notification. the subsequent email user sent to me will not get the OOF
notification, am i right?
Does it apply to external email user as well? can it be done to send OOF
notification to every email received regardless whether same or difference
email addresses?

Correct. Only the first message from a particular sender will receive the
OOO response.

Normally, Exchange will not send automatic replies to external addresses at
all. The Exchange admins can alter that, but each sender gets one response
(per day, I think).
