Just a few features I currently wish for:
After a small brainstorming here we came up with a few
other needs aswell.
-Auto-Reply vs Vacation
Auto-Reply will always send a reply to a message, and
is allowed to loop(!!). Actually I'd prefer that it
stopped looping after something like max 20messages per
hour or something.
Loops are always a bad thing and should never happen.
Vacation is only sent to an address once per day. And
thus is not looping.
IF vacation message is on then auto-reply messages are
not to be sent.
ex: [EMAIL PROTECTED] will want auto-replies on EVERY
mail, but this is not needed for auto-vacation messages.
You will *never* want auto-replies to every message. If you want this kind of automated response you should
use a special robot. Many support trackers have this feature. All mailinglist managers have it. Dbmail's
auto-reply feature will be along the lines of a vacation facility: max 1 reply per destination/recipient per
day or week, and never reply to mailer-daemons/list-managers/postmaster/etc...
This could be solved by adding a value to the table,
something along the lines of 'max-replies-per-day' maybe?
Like I said, I don't think we should do it like that. But I will keep your idea in mind when I get to work on
that code. Perhaps I can provide some kind of customization hook there.
And a little off-topic question.. (Webmail related)
How do I mark a message such that it will not be
downloaded by pop3, but still take up quota.
More specifically, how to we mark a message in /sent/
so that it is visible in imap's sent folder and so that
pop3 will not confuse it with a new message?
That's already the current behaviour.
The pop daemon only provides access to the INBOX. So messages in other folders will never be available through
pop3, yet they still use quota.
