RE: AS/400 sending email

["Elvis Budimlic" <ebudimlic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin,

If you are getting mail via Microsoft Exchange server there should be an
Out of Office Assistant option on the Tools menu.

If not, you can replicate the behavior by going into Tools->Rules Wizard
and creating a rule that sends a reply to the sender once it receives
the email.  This will involve creating your own text file as reply
message and setting the rule's template to the created file.
But there are some problems with this:
 - You must leave the computer running constantly while gone
 - It must be set to send and receive messages on a schedule
 - It must not encounter any errors or else it will stop and wait for
user intervention
 - If you belong to any mailing lists be sure to unsubscribe or else
make sure that the rules will exclude replies to the list.  Otherwise
you will cause an avalanche of messages to the list.

If your mail sever provides a vacation response, this is better handled
on the server.
Or if you can log in via internet to check your mail, there are often
Auto Respond options available.
