Out of Office Assistant and DLs

[fvcu]

One of our users has asked the question -
"When I send a message to a DL, why do I not receive the "Out of Office" reply from those recipients who have it turned on?"

We have Exchange 5.0 SP2 on WinNT4 SP3 (soon to upgrade to Exchange 5.5).

Is is configured incorrectly? Is this a glitch? Is this the way Exchange 5.0 functions?

Thanks.

Mike,
In the Exchange Server Administrator, go to the Properties for that Distribution List. Click on the Advanced tab. Under distribution list options, put a check mark next to "Allow out of office messages to the originator". This is not checked by default due to the overhead it can create.

Duh. I looked in books instead of looking at the properties page.

Thank you, Alice. [sig][/sig]
