Re: [U2] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses - RE: [U2] Steve Cashman
There is another option. Don't use auto-response messages. After all if the people in your office don't know you're gone then you've got to start interfacing more with the people you work with. If they don't notice when you're gone then they probably don't notice when you're there. - Original Message - From: Glen B [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 2:57 PM Subject: [U2] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses - RE: [U2] Steve Cashman It's not as simple as you might think. There have been long heated discussions about how to deal with vacation auto-responders on lists - including Majordomo. In the end, there's 2 options: 1) A subject filter that drops all messages with out of the office and away on vacation somewhere in the subject. That will also kill real postings with the strings in them. Also, various away responders may have different subject styles so the rules you implement may only work 50% of the time. As the list grows, the chances of a variety of vacation clutter grows. 2) The second option, which is typical for people who openly use mailing lists, is to set up your auto-responder to not send 'away' replies to e-mail addresses that are mailing lists. That can be done with partial address matching or by specifying the e-mail addresses manually. It only takes one step, by you or your mail admin, and it's dealt with for good. It would be great if people in very active lists, like U2-users, took the time to exclude their list subscriptions from their auto-responders.
