Thanks for the additional information. &nbsp;I appreciate your help. &nbsp;I think the issue had to do with our exchange server version.

When I turn on my out of office message (with a rule - the rule is setup with a template to reply to all incoming email received in my inbox), the auto reply works within my company. &nbsp;But when I test it from outside, it does not work. &nbsp;Could this be a setting within our Exchange Server (which I think is 2003)? &nbsp;I am running Outlook 2007.. &nbsp;I tested it from my yahoo and gmail accounts but never received the auto reply.<br />
Thanks,
