    I am not an Exchange person, so please forgive my ignorance and off-topic
    question, but how would you do just that (i.e. OOF --X--> only toward
    Internet)? Perhaps I can - then - forward these instructions to my Exchange
    guy, who didn't seem to know how ... For now I am forced to use my locally
    installed postfix and control at the client level the OOF messages, instead
    of using the "corporate approved" Exchange server ;)

    TIA,
    Stef
