    spammers love it because it confirms an email address for them. Social
    engineers will also use the OOF information to get peoples names,
    departments they work in, and phone numbers. I disable OOF to the internet
    on my Exchange server.

    Hello All,

    Don't know if this is the right place to post this. Are the out of office
    messages inviting hackers to attack your corporate network? Is this a risk
    to your company if employees start using the Out of Office feature?

    Any comments?

    Thanks in adavnce.

    Rodel
