The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0 - Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, version 4.0 - Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0

SUMMARY

When Out of Office is enabled, only one reply is sent to each sender, even if you receive multiple messages from that person.

MORE INFORMATION

The Out of Office Assistant sends an automatic reply to notify users who send you messages that you are away from the office. Your reply is only sent once to a message sender. This is reset when you toggle the Out of Office in the client. In other words, Microsoft Exchange clears the internal "sent o" list when you disable the Out of Office that is currently enabled.

If you would like to have a reply sent for every message, use Inbox Rules instead of Out of Office.
