You are the systems administrator for your company. You installed Windows Essential Business Server 2008 on the network. You are in the process of configuring e-mail settings on the Messaging Server.

Explanation:
You should select the Send out-of-office message to originator check box on the Advanced tab in the TestDistGrp Properties dialog box. The out-of-office messages are commonly used by users to let other people know when they are not available to respond to e-mail. In Exchange Server 2007, you can configure a mail-enabled distribution group or a mail-enabled security group to allow its members to send out-of-office messages when any user sends an e-mail to the distribution group or the security group. To achieve this, you should select the Send out-of-office message to originator check box on the Advanced tab in the properties dialog box of the distribution group. When you select this check box, users who send messages to the distribution group will receive out-of-office replies from any member of the distribution group that has an out-of-office rule turned on.You should not select the Send delivery reports to message originator option on the Advanced tab in the TestDistGrp Properties dialog box because this option cannot be used to configure out-of-office messages. The delivery reports options are used to configure how Non-Delivery Reports (NDR) are handled for a distribution group. When the Send delivery reports to message originator option is selected, an NDR is sent to the message sender.
You should not select the Allow external out-of-office messages only option or the Allow external out-of-office messages, and out-of-office messages set by Outlook 2003 or earlier clients or sent by Exchange Server 2003 or earlier servers option on the General tab in the properties dialog box of default remote domain. These options are used to configure external out-of-office messages for a remote domain. When you select the Allow external out-of-office messages only option, only out-of-office messages that are set as external by an Outlook 2007 client or by using Outlook Web Access are delivered to the remote domain. The Allow external out-of-office messages, and out-of-office messages set by Outlook 2003 or earlier clients or sent by Exchange Server 2003 or earlier servers option allows the following actions:
* Out-of-office messages that are configured as external by an Outlook 2007 client or by using Outlook Web Access are delivered to the remote domain.
* Out-of-office messages that are set by Outlook 2003 or earlier clients, regardless of the server version of their mailbox store, are delivered to the remote domain.
* Out-of-office messages that are sent by servers that are running Exchange 2003 or earlier versions, regardless of the client version that is used to set the out-of-office message, are delivered to the remote domain.These options are not used to configure out-of-office messages for a distribution group.
