Hi,We have Exchange 2003 SP2. What's the preferred way to create a server side auto-reply rule for a mailbox without creating an email loop scenario?We can create a rule inside the Out-of-Office assistant with an email template to control the subject line, and we expect it to have the anti-looping behaviour of Out-of-Office.Any other suggestions?

Hi,How about set the rule with the exception of the special information contain in Subject or Body of the message. You would get one automated reply from the recipient but your auto-reply rule will not reply it. Thanks Allen
