Auto Respose from Email Address

Hello,

I have a 2003 domain with Exchange 2003 as well. I'm trying to setup a
auto response for one particular email address
"contact@mycompany.com".
I've setup a AD user as "contact" and created the above mention email
address with it.
I also set the contact ID up on a workstation in the domain as well as
the Outlook 2003 client. I can send and relieve fine to this address
but am having trouble with getting an auto response setup.

Any suggestions on how to setup and auto response for this address
would be much appreciated. I've tried this:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291956
but can't get it to work. Am I missing some other config on Exchange
Server or something?

Thanks,
George

Now before you need to do that, you need to understand there is some risk to
doing auto replies. You can set off a mail look that can bring your system
to its knees.
Be sure you have size limits in place on this mailbox (both deny send and
receive). Should the mailbox get in a loop, hopefully a limit on the mailbox
size will help.

Generally auto replies with Exchange are frowned upon for the above reason.
