The more immediate concern is that it lets internal users know that any
activity on that account won't be noticed until the person's return date,
so-and-so will be out until 1/31/2003. They can hack away and the real-person
won't be available to notice improper use of their own account.

Hello All,

Don't know if this is the right place to post
this. Are the out of office 
messages inviting hackers to attack your
corporate network? Is this a risk 
to your company if employees start using the
Out of Office feature?

Any comments?

Thanks in adavnce.

Rodel
