Re: Filtering Out of Office replies?


 

Well that's disappointing.? I did think that would be able to autofilter/sequester replies that had an Out of Office message. Our group contains about 1000 professionals who routinely use Out of Office responders and they have in the past meant that replies would only go to the sender rather?than to the list where a moderator would have to deal with them.? I'm disappointed?that this is still the case.? There is no way for me to police how people set up their autoresponders.

I suppose?I'll write to support and request this feature.? Very surprised?that nothing can be done.

does have any filtering for Out of Office replies built in?
I think there is some , but not sure how well it works.

I believe that was once considered basic etiquette for systems not to send out of office responses to messages that were marked as being from a list (i.e. included a List-ID header). I also believe that some large corporations think they know better than that established etiquette.

RFC 3834 recommends that out of office responses include an Auto-submitted header - Auto-submitted: auto-replied - but I have no idea whether many systems actually do that. If anyone has evidence that they do then a request to filter such messages could be made on [beta].
