I Have tried the above article but I receive a message can not reply to message. &nbsp;I can of course manually reply to the message. &nbsp;I am thinking it is something with Exchange 2007.

is auto reply enabled on the server<br />
you can check that by going into organization configuration and then the hub transport rule<br />
after that check the properties of &quot;default&quot; under remote domains and click on the message formats tab.<br />

I am trying to setting up an auto reply rule for a mailbox that is monitored periodically. &nbsp;I need the rule to send messages externally. &nbsp;Basically for example you email me a resume and my email account automatically says thank you we will contact you.....<br />
<br />
When I setup the rule in outlook to take all email address To me directly and have the server reply a message...<br />
The rule does not work. &nbsp;Is there something in Exchange that needs to be configured to send externally?<br />
