-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:macgroup-bounces at erdos.math.louisville.edu] On Behalf Of Dan Crutcher Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 9:24 PM To: Macintosh topics Subject: [MacGroup] Apple's Mail and auto-reply We use Apple's Mail program as our main email program at work. Several employees have asked about setting up an auto-reply in Mail to let people know that they will be out of the office for a few days. A couple of them have succeeded in using Mail's rules to set up a rudimentary auto-reply, but it hasn't worked out well. The main problem is that the auto replies are being generated when junk mail comes in, and those replies usually bounces back to our server, which then generates a MAILER DAEMON bounce message back to the user and to the postmaster (me). I'd like to find a way to use rules to auto-reply only to messages that are not designated as junk mail, but I haven't been able to figure out a good way to do this. If it matters, we're using QuickMail Pro as our email server software. Any suggestions?
