- If you're using Exchange Server, you can set up an auto-response message that will be sent to all recipients, regardless of whether they're inside or outside your organization.
- If you're using Outlook on the web, you can set up an auto-response message by going to the "Settings" icon (looks like a gear) and then clicking on "View all Outlook settings" > "Mail" > "Automatic replies".
