Outlook Auto-Reply

Anyone know of a way to use MS Outlook (XP) to automatically respond to all incoming messages with a predefined message?  This is for our office network.  We have all our inhouse email accounts stored on an Exchange server.  I've tried the "Out of office assistant" and that only responds to inhouse email.  Anyone from outside our company doesn't get it.  Also, I've tried making a rule up with the "Rule Wizard" and that basically yeilded the same results as the Out of Office Assistant.  We have an email account that is used only for receiving resumes from potential employees.  I'd like to have Outlook automatically send an email back to the sender thanking him/her for his/her resume, but can't seem to get it work.  Any suggestions are much appreciated.

 

Thanks (and sorry about the half-completed post I accidently pulled the trigger on a little too early).

    I had asked about this about 6 months ago.  I finally got some limited information from an agency that uses it and from what they told me the auto answer has to be set up in the exchange server.

    Try typing the words "out of office assistant" into Google search - lots of info there.
