I use Outlook 2003's out of office assistant frequently and it works great.
Now, however, my work schedule has changed and I would like to create a reply
to only be sent to senders from our domain so I can activate it on my day off
to remind my users that I'm out until they get used to my new schedule. Is
there a way to do this in Outlook 2003? It appears that the feature is
either On or Off and I could not figure out how to do it with rules. Our
Exchange server is set up to allow the Out of Office reply to be sent to all
senders including internet mail and we would like to keep it that way. Does
someone know how to do this or whether it is possible?
 
The "Rules" option within the Out of Office Assistant seems to be more
limited than the Rules and Alerts for the whole mailbox and I don't see your
suggestion as an option.

Rules options are:

FROM: (which I would have to choose all the users in the GAL)
TO:
SUBJECT:
MESSAGE BODY:

and you must select an action:

Alert with...
Delete...
Move to...
Copy to...
Forward...
Reply with template...
or Custom... (but no instruction in given on how to use this option)

If this is possible with the rules option and the Out of Office Assistant,
I'd really like to use it, but I need guidance. Thanks for replying.
