Outlook out of office

[paulvernon63]

Hi,

I have a couple of users who are only seeing the "internal" out of office option in Outlook 2010; there is no option for sending an out of office externally. They have Windows XP SP3 installed on their machines. I've removed Office and reinstalled. We're running with Exchange 2003 on a Server 2003 domain. We have many other such architectures in our LEA with no problems.

Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated.

Regards,

Paul.

In Exchange 2003, the sending of out-of-office reply messages to the Internet is disabled as default.

 

To enable out-of-office reply messages to the Internet, follow these steps:

 

1. Start Exchange System Manager.
   
2. Double-click Global Settings, and then click Internet Message Formats.
   
3. In the details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click Properties.
   Note By default, "*" is the SMTP domain.
   
4. In the Default Properties dialog box, click Advanced, and then click to select the Allow out of office responses check box.
    
   This allows out-of-office reply messages to be sent under this SMTP policy.
