Out of office reply

hi, cyberfaithful:
I made a rule to reply to message automatically when I'm out of office in Mail.
It works fine.But if I send an attachment to any receipients. their out of office reply send the reply and the attachments (plus my original email) all back to me.
ny way not to send back the "attachment" if there is one?

Hello,
If I am understanding you correctly, you are talking about keeping your auto-responders from going in circles. You send to them, them to you, and yours back to them.
If that is what you are talking about, then that should be pretty simple.
Any reply to your out-of-office message should contain the subject and / or body of your out of office message. Even if it is returned.
So, here's what I would do.
Insert some garbage code like: KXTGSW
either in the subject or body of the message that your auto-responder sends.
Then, configure your auto-responder rule to ignore (or not respond) to incoming messages that contain that text anywhere in their message body or subject.
Alternatively, you could also configure that rule to send out a different message (with or without your attachment) if it detects that your message came back.
That should do it.
If I have misunderstood your question, then let me know where I got it wrong, and I'll try to help.
I hope this helps.

  • Mac Mail: How to prevent out-of-office reply infinite loop

    I'm in the habit of sending myself e-minders to my own email. I'm leaving town and enabled my out-of-office reply and later sent myself a message and it created a continuous loop of replies that would have overwhelmed my inbox had I not caught it. Is there a way to avoid this? I set up rules saying only to reply if "From" did not include my email address but the loop still happened.
    Thanks for your input!

    Get yourself another email address, like Gmail and forward to it instead of using the vacation message feature.

    Can anyone help. I'm going on holiday and need an automated out of office reply to my incoming e-mails.

    You can set a Mail Rule to automatically reply to messages (or messages which meet certain criteria) with a predetermined text. Of course this requires your computer to be on and connected 24/7.
    Otherwise your ISP might offer this facility, some do, but you would have to ask them.
    Or, if your ISP offers email forwarding, you could forward your messages to a free Yahoo account (preferably also delivering them as normal): in the Yahoo Mail Options you can set up a 'Vacation Response'.

  • Out of Office Auto Reply

    Does this exist server side ?
    If so Where ?

    I found you can access it by pointing your browser to the server (be sure to have web services enabled).
    1) Click on Email Rules
    2) Login as the user you wish to setup out of office reply
    3) Select "Vacation Notice" on the left side of the window.
    4) Make changes and hit save.
    I have not tested it yet, but I found this by poking around.

  • Out of Office Messages are Not Sent Out

    Hi there,
    I have an issue with Outlook's Out of Office feature. The Out of Office messages are not sent out (to both internal and external contacts) although it has been already turned on. Only one user is having this particular issue. 
    I've attempted these steps but the issue still persists.
    a) Turning on OOO via OWA
    b) Deleting the current profile and creating a new profile
    Could anybody help me in this?
    Regards,
    Vinod

    Hi Vinod,
    You issue might be related to this:
    "By default, the out-of-office reply to Internet recipients (external senders) is turned off. Many administrators do not allow out-of-office replies to be sent outside the Exchange Server organization, so that unauthorized people do not
    know when users are out of the office. "
    You might want to follow the steps in below KB article to turn on out-of-office replies to the Internet or contact your administrator to check so:

    Hope it helps and feel free to post back.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • How do I set an out of office response?

    I'm going out of town and need to set an out of office reply to incoming emails. How do I do this?

    This feature depends on your e-mail provider, but with Apple's iCloud you can do this by logging into icloud.com, clicking the "Mail" application, and then clicking the gear menu at the top-right to get to the preferences. Then go to the Vacation settings and enter a message as an automatic reply to send. Checking the box to automatically reply will enable this feature.
    Alternatively you can set up a rule in Mail on your Mac to act on any received message and send a reply.

  • Out of Office replies not working for external emails - Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010

    Hello.
    We have two Exchange 2010 mailbox servers and a third for client access. There are two mailbox databases replicated to both servers as a DAG. There is also one 2003 legacy server that is awaiting decommissioning that is basically just heating the server
    room - all the mailboxes have been migrated.
    We have recently noticed that out of office replies are no longer working for external recipients, but are being sent for internal users.
    I have checked under "Organisation configuration" - "hub transport" - "Remote domains" and made sure that is set to "Allow external out-of-office messages and legacy out-of-office messages"
    Looking at the message tracking logs it appears that the out of office reply isn't generated for external users - we do have an external mail filter that inbound and outbound messages are relayed through but that isn't blocking anything.
    This was working until recently, and I can't see any errors in the logs that look related. All three servers have been rebooted just in case.
    Any suggestions where to look next?

    Hello,
    You can capture a trace log to diagnostic
    the OOF issue:
    a. Start ExTRA by clicking Run on the Start menu and then entering the following command-line:
    Extra.exe
    b. On the “Welcome to the Exchange Troubleshooting Assistant” page click Select a task. 
    c. On the “Troubleshooting Task Selection Screen” page click Trace Control. 
    d. Click OK to the following prompt alerting you about possible performance problems running a trace:
    This server does not have the module needed for interpreting traces.
    Proceed only if this is being done under the direct supervision of a qualified Exchange support engineer.
    e. On the “Configure Trace File” page configure the following options:
    f. After configuring the options in step e, click Set manual trace tags. 
    g. On the “Set Trace Tags Manually” page configure the following settings: 
    Check the following trace tags: InfoWorker.Assistants.OOF, all.
    Note: Please expand all filter options, make sure that we did not check any filter options here. And run the trace again.
    h. Click Start Tracing at the bottom of the page.
    i.  Please reproduce this issue for 3-5 times. After reproduced this issue, stop the tracing and collect the ExchangeDebugTraces.etl
    Thanks,
    Simon

  • E-Mail : Catching the Out of office info.

    I have a forms application and when I make some chage like , change of password I used to send an e-mail. Now my problem is is there any way or method for sender to receive a mail in Outlook if one or more colleagues are not in office (absence note should be forwarded to Sender).
    Thanks in advance..

    If you use an actual Outlook account to send your emails, this account will automatically get the out of office reply. E.g. make an Outlook account [email protected] and use this to send the emails.

  • Why can't i put an out of office on my iphone email? Blackberry and other android phones will allow this feature.

    I just purchased my iPhone, one thing I don't like is that with my Blackberry it allowed me to put an Out of Office reply to my emails. I thought the iPhone was a leader!!! Blackberry and other Android phones can do it.

    Why can't you?  Simple..Apple doesn't include that feature.
    Download and use iMExchange instead.

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.
