Auto Responder at Server Level
Hi All,
Is there a way to create an auto responder at the server level? For instance, when a person leaves this company I want to have an auto response generated from the server (not MS Outlook) that says "Joan is no longer with company ABC.com but your email has been forwarded to the appropriate person who will handle your issue."
Can this be done at the server level?

If you add a rule to outlook it is server side rule.
You may try this...
create rule in outlook and remove the profile. The rule will remain active until you create new profile and turn the rule off.

No.
Auto responses are set through the mailbox.
They are high risk as well - because if you are not careful they can cause email loops.

u can have auto responder that is SERVER SIDE RULE......u have to use public folder...HOW??
craete a public folder .....add all the users email address that have been terminated to the public folder email address...
using folder assitance create a rule to respned witha generic TEMPLATE.....on the template make sure
the return address is to a distribution group with no members(black hole..will prevent a loop)....
template auto- replies from mailbox is a client side rule....template auto-reply from a public folder is a server side rule....

A client side rule is a rule that is created client side?
A server side rule is a rule that is created at the server?
well...every rule created from outlook including out of office runs server side..
and any rule created for a public folder runs server side..
So I think it is safe to say there are no client side rules for outlook..public folder or otherwise.
The only difference between a rule for a public folder and a rule for a mailbox is one is applied to a public folder and one is applied to a mailbox...

Create a rule that moves the messages in to another mailbox - that will be client side.
Most Outlook rules are server side, but some are not.

I think I see what you are saying with "that will be client side"
With all due respect, all rules run server side.
But, if a rule created depends on client side actions then it is considered a client side rule? For example, a rule that moves messages to a pst file would depend on outlook to be open and connected to the pst file. Either way that rule is run at the server when the message arrives?
