I agree with this so much. I wish I could vote it into the thousands. I was given the same work around, but its so grossly inefficient. I think a better way they should go about this is adding an auto-reject feature that can be turned on or off when after-hours is turned on. It would allow you to set your own rejection message. This way, you are able to ensure messages that don't need to come through are rejected, and you can still communicate with clients and others without being disrupted.
