ABSTRACT:
A system for selectively providing an out of office autoreply message in response to an incoming message is provided. The system avoids providing potentially sensitive or useful information to unauthorized senders of unsolicited messages, commonly known as spam. Accordingly, dramatic increases in such messages that can be experienced after a sender of such messages has confirmed the validity of a target address through the receipt of a reply message, can be avoided. In addition, security concerns associated with providing unknown senders of messages with information indicating that a user is out of the office are also avoided.
