Question

How do i send vacation response to one person?

Answer 1

Mail it.

Answer 2

Depends on the software you are using.  If it's MS Outlook 2007, you can specify rules that regulate when the out of office assistant sends messages. In you scenario I probably wouldn't use out of office assistant and instead would create a rule to reply to specific people:

1 - From Tools menu select 'Rules and alerts'

2 -Click 'New Rule'

3 - Select 'Check messages when they arrive' and click 'Next'

4 - In Step 1 window select 'from people or distribution list'

5 - In Step 2 window click on highlighted 'people or distribution list'

6 - Select name of person or persons from your address book so they appear in box next to from, then click 'OK'

7 - Click 'Next'

8 - Select either 'Have server reply....' or 'Reply using...', if you can it would probably be better to have server reply, as you wouldn't need to be logged in for that

9 - In Step 2 click on highlighted 'a specific message'

10 - Enter the Subject and reply test you wish to send and click 'Save & Close'

11 - Click 'next' again

12 - Add any exceptions you need (probably won't need this) and click 'Next'

13 - Name the rule

14 - You'll probably not want to run the rule on messages already in your inbox, so don't tick that, but tick to turn rule on

15 - Click finish to turn rule on

16 - Click OK to leave rules

If you wish to test the rule if you have a secondary e-mail address you could always set the rule up to reply to that and

send yourself an e-mail to see if it works...

Hope that helps, I know it works similar in old versions of Outlook so you may be able to figure it out from what I've sent you.

Cheers
