this works fine in an organisation when you receive an out-of-office reply
to an email so you know not to ring or email someone when they are away on
business from the office or on holiday. However, I have to say that when
I
worked for Cheshire County Council, they had a very strict policy about
emails, they strongly discourage staff from sending email to anyone
outside
the County Council. I don't know what it's like now as I haven't worked
there for three years, but your email activity and internet site visits
are
monitored, belonging to an email list like this one would be absolutely
forbidden. However, other orgs might be more tolerant of contacting
people
via email. Other than as has bene said, the out-of-office generated
emails
are just a nuisance, but I can put up with them.

because people feel the need to install auto reply systems to reply to
messages when they are out and not able to check their mail for whatever
reason.

Can anyone explain why sometimes when I send a message to the list I get
and
office out of reply message. These are from people that I don't know.
Cheers
