"Out of Office" messages are returned to internal users but not external users on the internet. Is this a problem of POPcon?

Hi,

We are having problems with "Out of Office" messages.

Internal messages to the user get the desired reply whilst external messages from other internet domains don't. We are running Exchange 2003 SBS with POPcon version 3.22. Is this a problem of POPcon?

Hi,

this is a problem of the default settings of Exchange and can easily be fixed:

Using the Exchange System Manager, open Global Settings > Internet Message Formats, right click "default" (on the right hand panel). Select Properties > Advanced. Tick the "allow out of office responses" box. Click apply/ok.

Best Regards,
