I am trying to get out of office assistant to work. I
need it to send an automatic reply email whenever I get an
email in an info email box. When an email comes into the
info mailbox the email is forwarded to a sales rep and I
need an automatic reply sent back to the sender. I am
having trouble making it work. I am using Outlook 2002
and the email account is On an exchange server running
Small Business Server 2000. Any help would be much
appreciated.
 
You need to make sure that your Exchange server is configured to allow
Automatic Replies to the Internet. I don't know exactly where that setting
is in SBS2000, but look for the Internet Mail Connector or SMTP Virtual
Server and you should find it there someplace.

Be forewarned; any out-of-office autoresponder you set up is going to
automatically reply to everybody who sends you a message, including the
spammers. That's a good way to dramatically increase the amount of spam you
get.

Might be better just to forward the mail to the sales rep and let the sales
rep reply to anybody who needs a response.
