Yup, thanks Billy.  Although I had trouble getting there following steps
1-3.  I'm probably still waiting for the morning's coffee to kick in.
<g>  For me, it was:
1. In system manager, go to Global Settings
2. Left click on Internet message Formats, in the right hand pane select
the Internet Message Format that talks to the internet.  I have several
'formats' as I talk to other Exchange servers, but my default format
talks to the internet (via my MailScanner gateways) so that's the one I
operate on.  Either double click it, or right click and go to
properties.
3. Go to the Advanced tab
4. Select Never Use in the Exchange Rich Text Format area.  I'm
persuaded that RTF sucks.  YMMV.  Season to taste.
5. Uncheck Allow Out of Office Responses.

You're done.  Well, mostly.  You might also want to check out these

soon.)

references milter-ahead, but I'm using smf-sav.  Nonetheless, the
concept is the same and running either milter is a righteous thing to
do...
