Mac OOF: Using the Valid Thru: Field in the OOF Form (110388)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1d
This article was previously published under Q110388 SUMMARY
When configuring options with the Out of Office (OOF) form in version 3.1d
of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, users have the option to specify
an expiration date for their OOF registration.
The field "Valid thru:" accepts a date specified in the MM/DD/YY format. By
entering a date in this field, the user can specify when the OOF server
will remove his or her registration from the OOF database.
The OOF server will process all mail according to configured options until
11:59:59 P.M. on the date specified in the "Valid thru:" field. At that
time, the OOF server will remove the user registration from the OOF server
database and will send a notification of the removal to the user[ASCII 146]s mail
account.
MORE INFORMATION
Although the form specifies the date to be entered in MM/DD/YY format, it
will accept any valid Macintosh date entry. The OOF server will validate
the entry and, if the specified date is not considered valid, will reject
the OOF registration. For ease of configuration, Microsoft recommends dates
be entered in MM/DD/YY format.
