Thanks for the suggestions, Rick. I've never tried to use an event sync,
is there a good source for information on how they work and how to get
started with them? I assume they are not supported by MS if something
gets screwed up and we have issues after we try to put this in place?

Can't think of anything built in. This could certainly be accomplished
via a serv-side event sync.
You'd be looking at custom development of course, but I wouldn't think
it would be too complex. Depending on the organization size, another
solution could be a generic mailbox that is used as a catch-all with an
OOF message enabled. Might be able to get there with the archiving
function and an OOF enabled on the archive mailbox...?
Just a few thoughts, anyhow.

Hi list, I have been asked by our upper management to see if we can
enable a global auto reply email message to all emails received while
our organization shuts down over a week long furlough in July.
We are running Exchange 2003 in a single server environment with Win
2003 AD, fully patched as of early June 09. We use Postini's service for
external spam filtering and they have already said they do not have the
ability to send a reply to all emails, unless we are bouncing messages
back and not having them delivered to the recipients, which we do not
want to do. Basically we want to receive them all but just have an auto
reply to the effect of "Our offices will be closed from July 3 through
July 12..." Management does not want to rely on individuals setting this
up on their own since many people may not or the message may be
inconsistent.
Is there anything within Exchange 2003 that can do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
