OUT OF OFFICE AUTO REPLY ISSUE RRS feed

  • Question

  • Is it possible to have a single email adress not be sent the out of office auto reply when they email me and I am out of the office. In my office if someone wants adress the entire staff they use this one email adress that sends us all an email. If I am out of the office I dont want them to have to see my out of office reply if they were just emailing everybody about snacks in the kitchen or something. Is there anything I can do so that this wont happen?

  • It is posible, but only you've Exchange serwer account.

    Et VBA you should write this code:

    Private Sub Application_Quit()
     On Error Resume Next
        Dim oSession: Set oSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
        If oSession Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
        
        oSession.Logon newSession:=False
        oSession.OutOfOffice = True
        oSession.OutOfOfficeText = "I'm out of office, call to my cellphone."
        oSession.Logoff
    End Sub

  • I think outlook 2010 has a functionality where in you can create your own distribution list. Its upto you, whether or not u need that DL to have the OOO emails

  • Actually, we could add the member into the new creating DL first.  And then set an Out of Office rule to achieve it.
