Hello, I have Exchange 2003 and mainly Outlook 2003. We filter spam with McAfee GroupShield, which marks SPAM message in subject and moves to user junk fodler (we can't afford for filtering any false-positive mails). When user sets Out of Office, it replies to email in junk folder, and then gets tons of NDRs. Senders from outside MUST receive Out-of-Office. Any ideas? -- Muson

You have conflicting requirements. You can't meet both of them. You can get a better spam filter with a better false-positive rate (you'll never find one that reaches 0%), or you can quarantine all your spam outside Exchange -- but then any false-positives won't get an OOF. Either way, you can't have it both ways. -- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP MS Exchange FAQ at http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Don't send mail to this address mailto:h.pott@getronics.com Or to these, either: mailto:h.pott@pinkroccade.com mailto:melvin.mcphucknuckle@getronics.com mailto:melvin.mcphucknuckle@pinkroccade.com
I'm suprised that Microsoft didn't thought about the idea not to reply to mail in Junk Folder. -- Muson "Rich Matheisen [MVP]" wrote in message news:msgk24pfo5fecplu1bvcd59d1sfk6lr6k7@4ax.com... > "Muson" wrote: > >>I have Exchange 2003 and mainly Outlook 2003. >> >>We filter spam with McAfee GroupShield, which marks SPAM message in >>subject >>and moves to user junk fodler (we can't afford for filtering any >>false-positive mails). >> >>When user sets Out of Office, it replies to email in junk folder, and then >>gets tons of NDRs. >> >>Senders from outside MUST receive Out-of-Office. >> >>Any ideas? > > You have conflicting requirements.

The mail arrives in the Inbox (where the OOF is sent) and then moved to the Junk Email folder. -- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP MS Exchange FAQ at http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Don't send mail to this address mailto:h.pott@getronics.com Or to these, either: mailto:h.pott@pinkroccade.com mailto:melvin.mcphucknuckle@getronics.com mailto:melvin.mcphucknuckle@pinkroccade.com
