well, what we do for some bulk mailings is to feed these messages into a script which keeps track of responses. if it is the first reply, it sends a form letter with information about who to contact about what and so on. (we do of course try to make sure we're not responding to auto-responders.) if the user replies once more, the message is passed on to the mailing list for the relevant support personnel. for the most part we just set reply-to the mailing list right off the bat, though. it really isn't that much of a load to handle, there generally is a reason for people responding, and making it harder for them will not save neither you nor them any time. -- Kjetil T. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
