The company's automated exchange software then *automatically* enters this into my/Christian's calendar and enables the out-of-office response to all incoming mails.
That is bad policy.
Tell that to the IT manager. :-) It really isn't that easy though. If you have a position with lots of customer contacts, you just cannot be silent for a week or two, you must respond to all unknown senders. That's why there is a don't-reply-to option instead of an auto-reply list. I noticed from Christian's address that we both work for banks, so I recognized the problem. Being in a back-office position, I can check the don't-reply-to-internet option, but not everyone can afford to do that.
How about subscribing to the list with an email address that does not automatically respond when you are away?
So I am using my home address for this list. ok? :-) Bo Persson
