I cannot find any MSFT:TDS OOF Rule as well as External.OofTemplate.Microsoft from MDB Viewer. Please help me to resolve this issue

What version of Outlook do you use? Outlook 2003 does not have an option for OOF messages to be sent to external senders. Did you set up the OOF in Outlook Web or Outlook? If you set it up in OWA and then look at it Outlook 2003, just viewing it in Outlook 2003 will over-write whatever you did in OWA.

You can use the MFCMAPI tool to find the corrupt rule. Deleting it using MFCMAPI can resolve it. Also, is there by chance a Blackberry Server involved? There is a known issue with the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) accounts and OOF not working. I think the most recent patch level on the BES was supposed to resolve this, but I can’t recall for sure.

thats what I did first, I cannot find this message_type IPM.Note.Rules.OofTemplate.Microsoft.

Well that doesn’t help then, that’s too bad. You didn’t answer whether there is a Blackberry Server account involved with this mailbox?

No blackberry server ever involved. and its only one mailbox problem, all users have same problem.

OK, good to know, I had to rule that out because it is a known issue with BES accounts and Exchange accounts interacting. Back to square one, did you ever verify if OOF was working internally at all? When you set up the OOF did you set a separate message to be sent “Outside My Organization”? By default the “Inside My Organization” message will not be sent to addresses outside the organization.
