Hello,
Is there anybody know how to have an auto response in outlook 2000. Just like the out office assistant. In this case i want to send automatic response to the sender that "i received the message and get back to him in 2 days". How do i do that? Out of office is a good bet but it's limited.

Anybody know how to do it?

Thanks.

Create the reply message.
No address in TO field.
File-Save as-Outlook template.
Make a rule with specifications that does a *reply using the template*.

I have done this before and it works great.
Let me know if you need more help with that.

Please note that using Rules Wisard you can create "Client-side" and "Server-Side" (if only you use OL in corporate/workgroup mode) rules.

Client-side rules will work when only your Outlook is running and logged on. Server-side rules work autonomously. So, you probably need a "have server reply with specific message" rule, not a "reply with specific template" rule.
