Working on Outlook 2003 clients in a Windows Server/Exchange 2003
environment. Trying to configure a set of out-of-office rules which will
send a reply to all inbound email except that from users x, y & x.

Have configured Rule 1 (for the exceptions) which generates a new-mail alert
for mail received from x, y & z senders and ticked the 'Do not process
subsequent rules' box. Rule 2 (for all other mail) does not have any sender
filter in place and replies with a template email.

In this scenario, when Out-of-Office is switched on, users x, y & z receive
the template reply as well as generating the new mail alert. Surely this
should not happen as they are triggering Rule 1 which should not then allow
processing of Rule 2? Just to confirm; Rule 1 is above Rule 2 in the list.

Anyone any ideas?
