Help me with this scenario....

[flashsnaps]

We have a caretakers/gardeners office, they are not part of our network.

 

I have set them up with 4workstations and an old machine which acts as a NAS for backup/sharing etc.

 

They have pop emails which comes into their Outlook. They want to have out of office replies, but their machines won't always be on. The out of office replies are setup using outlook rules but will obviously only work when outlook is running on the machine.

 

Without moving them on to our network and without getting them exchange, is there a way in which maybe I could set something up on the NAS? So they do get out off office replies when their machines are off? As the NAS stays on all the time. They each have their own email address and logon locally, no domain.

 

Any suggestions would be great.

Who do they use for email? A lot of places that provide pop will also have a web interface for email, and there is often the option to put out of office on via that.
