Out of Office Message with Rule (send template) - only works on in house email

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.  But when I test it from outside, it does not work.  Could this be a setting within our Exchange Server (which I think is 2003)?  I am running Outlook 2007..  I tested it from my yahoo and gmail accounts but never received the auto reply.
Thanks,

there is 2 settings

inside the organization and outside the organization

you would have set it only to inside my organization and outside my organization would have not been set and i suspect that causing a issue here

let me know if you have more queries

yes, I am setting this on the client (Outlook 2007) - I do not see these settings where you can setup for inside and/or outside your organization.

I am familar with the out of office assistant but do not see a selection where I can select "inside or outside" my organization as you indicated in your post below:

"you would have set it only to inside my organization and outside my organization would have not been set and i suspect that causing a issue here"

do you see the below  User generated image

you will have to use this to set it for outside and inside the org

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