Out of Office Assistant

If you are in an Exchange environment (ask your administrator if you do not know) you can set the Out of the Office Assistant which is located under
Tools.

If you are not in an Exchange environment you can create a rule that replies
on all e-mails. The downside of this is that you’ll have to have your
Outlook open all the time for the rules to process. Make sure you set some
exceptions (for instance based on the subject field so it will not reply on
subject with e.g. reply, failed, undeliverable, etc…) otherwise you could
create endless mailloops between two mailservers and those can be a real
threat to the mailservers!

The rule could end up looking something like this;


Apply this rule after the message arrives
(set no conditions to reply to every mail)
reply using a specific template
except if the subject contains specific words
