Re: OOF messaging

I am not an Exchange person, so please forgive my ignorance and off-topic 
question, but how would you do just that (i.e. OOF --X--> only toward 
Internet)? Perhaps I can - then - forward these instructions to my Exchange 
guy, who didn't seem to know how ... For now I am forced to use my locally 
installed postfix and control at the client level the OOF messages, instead 
of using the "corporate approved" Exchange server ;)

TIA,
Stef

spammers love it because it confirms an email address for them.  Social
engineers will also use the OOF information to get peoples names,
departments they work in, and phone numbers.  I disable OOF to the internet
on my Exchange server.
