message loop and outlook

Hi all

We have an exchange server 5.5 with sp4 and most of the client is on outlook 2000. Right now, we don’t have auto reply enable.
The reason of this is if I setup as auto reply and someelse set it up as auto reply. The mail willget catch up in loop and will crash the server. Is there anyway to get around this. I will need to set auto reply for my company.
