RE: Exchange 2000 out of office

Exchange will only send one out-of-office response to a particular address. Apart from annoying members of this list, it should be perfectly safe and will result in two bounces at most.

Subject: Exchange 2000 out of office

There has been a request from our business to turn on the out of office feature to the Internet. Though we have made arguments against it, it appears management wishes to implement this feature anyway.

>From reading, there are circumstances that out of office can create a
mail
loop situation. Can anyone elaborate under which circumstances this will

happen so we can test this loop in a controlled fashion?

thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
