Which version of Exchange are you running? Also with client is this, Outlook or OWA? If outlook, is it 2003 or 2007? With Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007 and OWA 2007 you can set two different Out of Office messages, 1 for internal senders and another for external senders.

I also appear to have this issue. Out of Office works OK internally, but doesn't reach the outside world. We are running Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003 on a Windows 2003 server (all patched). I can see the reply within Exchange System Manager but it doesn'tappear to get any further. The log states "SMTP: Message submitted to categorizer" Both OWA and standard Outlook affected.

Did you ever find out what this was? I'm having the same problem, all the settings appear to be correct but it gets stuck in the categorizer. Thanks

Have you checked your AV program? Ensure you have correctly set the exclussion for exchange directories in AV. OOF are system generated messages and most of the time AV eat them at the categorizer level.Some time it is possible that the OOF rule has been corrupt which you can delete it using MFCMAPI tool.Troubleshooting Out of Officehttp://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/tools/troubleshooting-out-of-office.htmlArun Kumar | MCSE - 2K3 + Messaging | ITIL-F V3
