Enable Out-Of-Office replies to the Internet

By default, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Out-of-Office replies to the Internet is disabled. This is done to disallow Out-of-Office auto-replies to be sent outside of the organization to prevent outsider to learn when users are out of the office.

To enable Out-Of-Office replies to the Internet:

1. On the Exchange Server machine, go to Start - Programs - Microsoft Exchange - Systems Manager.

2. Double click Global Settings, and then click Internet Message Formats.

3. In the Details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click Properties. The default SMTP domain is "*".

4. In the Properties box, click the Advanced tab, and then click to select the Out of office responses check box. This enables Out-of-Office responses to the Internet for the selected domain.
