# out-of-office-change template

Email sent to the user after the limit of “*Out of Office*” reply messages was reached, to notify him that his personal details have been changed to “*On vacation*”. This email is sent after the [out-of-office-warning](out-of-office-warning.md).

## Configuration

The behavior of this email can be configured through the `outOfOfficeLimit` and `outOfOfficeString` properties in the [Global Properties](../../properties/global_properties.md).

## Email headers

This message sets the following headers by default:

| Name | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `Auto-Submitted` | `auto-replied` |
| `From` | `PageSeeder (DO NOT REPLY) <pageseeder@emaildomain>` |
| `Subject` | `WARNING: Your notification options have been set to 'On Vacation'` |
| `To` | Email address of user |

PageSeeder also adds the following non-standard email header:

`com.pageseeder.mail.Bounce` set to `true`.

## XML

PageSeeder produces the following XML for the XSLT template.

```xml
