Introduction
The AutoAccept Sink for Exchange is a tool for Exchange 2000 that allows resource mailboxes to automatically accept/decline meeting requests based on a combination of factors. These factors include the free/busy status of the resource, whether the requestor is authorized, and many other configurable settings.The feature set for the AutoAccept Sink was inspired by the AutoAccept Tools for Exchange 5.5 from www.exchangecode.com. However, this entire program was written from the ground up using the store event sink technology first introduced in Exchange 2000. Therefore it is fully compatible with Exchange 2000, faster, more reliable, more scalable, and easier to expand upon than the utilities written for Exchange 5.5.
The AutoAccept Sink is an open source utility. If you are interested in contributing to this project, please read the section titled "Contributing" below.
