Any rules set up in OOF?
Does it work if you turn it off in Outlook and enable it in OWA with just
'vanilla' settings?

There are no rules just the out of office turned on with the message. If I
enable it using OWA it still does not function. The wierdest part to me is
that some other users on the domain work fine?????????????????????????
