Does “Out of Office” reply to messages in the Spam Folder

by tlong . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

My Users are pushing for us to enable “out of office” replies to the internet, even though we have advised against the numerous Spam/Security issues that arise from this feature.

We are using Exchange 2003 standard and Outlook XP. Can anyone tell me if the messages that go directly into a spam subfolder will bypass an Out of office reply? I know there’s nothing you can do if the Spam makes it to the inbox just hoping to minimize the damage if possible.

Question 2: Do you know of any way to enable the “Out of Office” reply to internet email that is safer in regards to not getting an ton of spam after it’s enabled?

Thanks for you time,
Terry
