There is no per-user setting. Ask the user who needs to get his OOO's - does the whole world need to know he's gone? I doubt it. Then create the message format which enables OOO's just for those domains that are important to him. -----Original Message----- From: A.

I guess this is a server-wide setting, and the reasoning is understandable. However there are situations in which a user very much wants to have OOO replies enabled. Is there a way to override the global setting on a per-user basis, like overriding the global mailbox limits?
