    I have a question… I actually want ‘out of Office’ replies, its gives me the opportunity to put a new contact in the list

    for example it might say

    ‘Justin Price has now left the business, please email ‘Stevewright@focuwmediauk.com’ with any further questions’

    it used to do this on most of my mailers, but has recently stopped

    The OOO replies can be useful, can you switch them back on?

      @Justin, if you want the out of office replies to be sent to you then don’t enable (or disable) per the instructions above. Mailchimp doesn’t filter out of office replies unless you enable per the instructions above.
