RE: [OT] Outlook/exchange out of office replacement?

["Ian Lowe" <ianlowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a copy of Outlook running on my server console just to provide
the
extra rules that the full fat outlook client has over just exchange
processing - what you are after can be done in Outlook 2007 (and I think
2003 as well).



Don't add an "auto respond with this text" entry, but click on
the "Add
Rule" button in OOO Assistant,

Create an OOO rule from "From", and pick a distribution list from
your
contacts folder (stick everyone you trust to see your out of office message
in this list)

As the action, choose "reply with template" and put your normal
out of
office message in that template



That's it  - if the rule matches, an OOO message is sent, if not, no
response.

Anyone know of or use a replacement for the Exchange/Outlook out of office
responder?

In these days of spam, sending a response to a spam message isn't a good
idea - was wondering if there's a way of tailoring an OOO to only reply to
known contacts (maybe generated from sent emails)?
