Re: [users] Out Of Office

[Robert Adkins]

I wouldn't recomend having all Out Of Office emails set as junk, or be 
automatically deleted or what-not.

This is the kind of thing that may one day bite you in the behind.
You should only do this if you use multiple email addresses with a mail 
program that can filter mail for multiple email accounts.

One account, setup for mailing lists like this, for instance, could have 
Out Of Office replies sent into the bit bucket.

Another account would be for important business or personal business 
stuff that you should only use for that type of communication, then when 
you really need to know if someone is out of the office, you don't find 
out a week or more after the fact, which could cost you quite a few 
problems, if your email was or is time sensitive.

I just did this myself:
Go to: Tools > Message Filters...
Click on New... and name the filter Out Of Office Junk or something 
like that.
In the section called "For incoming messages that:" select: Subject 
containts "Out Of Office"
In the section called "Perform these actions:" set "Set Junk Status 
to:" Junk (make sure the checkbox is checked) and click ok.

Now all messages containing "Out Of Office" in the subject will be 
marked as junk.

No. Some of our users do not know how to setup vacation or whatever
autoresponder they use to ignore mailing lists. Hence the odd one gets
through. On your end, your virus scanner should work filtering out 
the crap that
is flooding the Internet.


Makes me think.  If I were more confident at fooling around with 
settings, I could have Thunderbird junk everything with "Out of 
Office" in the subject line.
