RE: something weird...

Hi Tan

Most autoreplies are configured to send one reply to a given email address 
upon receiving the first mail from them - all subsequent mails from that 
address will be ignored by the autoreply as it assumed that the person will 
understand why there is no response from their intended recipient.  This 
stops autoreplies from bunging up inboxes by responding to every single 
message.  Of course, not all autoreplies are configured correctly.

Yep, Lasse, thanks for your reply, but I alreayd know that bit - I have
seen them many a time, BUT why has it only occurred this one time?  I
sent 4 separate emails to PDML in the past hour and only got the one
autoreply. And what about you guys, if you send an email to PDML, do yo
get the same autoreply?  I just don't understand how/why it is that only
I got one...
Strange, or maybe not, but I can't get my head around it...

It's just an automatic response that some people, or offices start just to
explain why you may not get a proper, personal reply.
Sometimes it's not well configured, as when it will go to participants on
a mailing list too, which occasionally happens.
Nothing to worry about. It's purpose is actually just securing politeness,
or sending information that maybe useful to sender or receiver.

Sorry guys I know I am supposed to be "having a break" from PDML, but
something strange just happened...
I just replied to Robert's "Perfect Lighting Tutorial" thread, and a few
minutes later received this email:
"Out of Office Reply: Perfect Lighting Tutorial
I am on leave from 29th March to the 9th April.
If necessary, I can be contacted at *** ****.

It was from somebody named "Max McRae".  I know it breaches "netiquette"
and
copyright to post that here, but I figure as it was automatically
generated
it should be ok.  I have removed the phone number just in case.

Does anyone know this "Max"?  Is he on list?  This is weird and I am
worried
now that I have some sort of virus that has sent the email I sent to PDML
out to other people's Inboxes.
Any explanations?

TIA,
tan.
