Auto responder ability for Exchange 2000 (without requiring Outlook)

[GndPrx]

Short of using something like GFI MailEssentials, does anyone know of an exchange add-in that will allow auto responses sent to either users or groups right from the exchange server?

I just can't justify GFI when we already have eSafe in place which is the same thing...just doesn't offer auto responses.

Everything I've found so far requires the Outlook client to be running or is only good for one profile / one user. I need something that can be done from the server with no email client. And the out of office won't work because it actually replies with "Out of Office" in the subject line.

Thanks in advance.
