My Out of Office autoreply is not working for non-internal emails, in other words all outside emails. I guess out of office replies can cause problems (spammers know its a good email, autoreply loops can supposedly happen between two autoreplies responding to one another), but these are not applicable. I get no spam, only clients get my email and I will have people (myself included) checking to prevent a loop.

Anyway, apparently there is some setting somewhere preventing any non-internal (from others outside my company) emails from getting an autoreply. I need to change this so that all emails received (not just internal ones) get auto replied to. The autoreply works fine when someone internally sends me an email, just not ones from outside the company.

Thank you for any help. :D

Seth,

Maybe this will help you.

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003. When you open it up, there is a tab at the top toolbar listed "TOOLS" Click this.

It brings up a drop down box. Select "OUT OF OFFICE ASSISTANT"

It then shows a 'bubble' box for "I am currently out of the office" and a text box underneath where you can leave a message.

Under that is a box where you can set rules.

I think that might be where the setting you are looking for is?......Maybe

Hope that helps.

If you are using Microsoft Office 2007...let me know. I use 2003 and the wife has 2007. She can help out if it's a MO 2007 problem.
