Out of Office Replies on delegate access rights.

I’m having a issue where I have a secretary who is out of the office and is a delegate for one of the principles of the company that I’m working at. When you try to send him a e-mail or a calendar appt you get a out of office reply from his secretary stating that she is out of the office.

Seeking some assistance on how she can retain her delegate access but not kick out, out of office replys when they message someone that she has delegate access rights to. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Outlook 2003 desktop client and Exchange Server 2003.

Thanks,
Chris.
