I am setting up a auto reply on a distribution list. I created a shared mailbox and added this shared mailbox to the distribution list. I configured auto reply on this shared mailbox using powershell. Also, I selected the option in the distribution list properties &quot;Send out-of-office message to originator&quot; I have tried to send an email to this list but I did not get any bounce back and auto response. I checked the shared mailbox. The autoreply is enabled and I saw the message for autoreply.<br />
i don't know why it did not send auto reply when it got an email. &nbsp;Please give me some hints.<br />
Thanks,

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
