Just worked out I need to use 'server reply message' instead of templates

I need to setup a mailbox so it replies to incoming mail with a template
when the client is *not* open. (ie a server based rule).
Using Ex2k3+OL2k3

I tried setting up a mailbox rule using a template - but templates are
stored on the file system so that forces it to become a client based rule.
How can I set up a server based rule to reply with standard text?
