I am having trouble getting Exchange to send OoO replies to external users. 
The replies to internal users is working fine.  I have set the "Allow out of
office replies" setting in the Global Settings area of System Manager.  We
use the Microsoft Exchange POP3 Connector to download the mail from an
external mail server at our ISP.  Do you have any ideas as to what the
problem might be?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You should ask this question to an SBS newsgroup because the POP3 Connector
is an SBS component and they know more about it.  I'm reasonably certain
that your problem is related to your using that kludge to collect your mail.
You really ought to consider having your mail delivered to your server via
SMTP as the Internet was designed to work.

Okay, I will post on the SBS group.  I wasn't aware that the POP3 Connector
was only in SBS.  Thanks for the help.
