[ILUG] out of office replies (going OT)

[Gareth Eason]

	AFAIR I managed to do this quite simply by telling Outlook to run its 
rules locally rather than on the server - and I even seem to recall 
there was a very simple pattern matching thinger for addresses to which 
OOO replies should not be sent. Stick in the mailing list distribution 
addresses there and Bob's your mother's brother.

	Of course, this may not be an option for people who are out of the 
office and take their machine off the network - or shut their outlook 
mail client...

	Actually - looking at Outlook here in front of me - the OOO Assistant 
allows these rules to be uploaded to the server now. So it's just a 
matter of people sticking in a few rules to cover replies - nothing to 
do with server admins - it's up to the people themselves.

	So, with that in mind, a suitable chastising should be due to anyone 
who sends OOO to the list more than once (by accident) ;-)

	Regards,
	-->Gar
