• Stop Out-Of-Office from sending OoO messages to mailing lists

    By Mati Ustav 2 decades ago

    It would be nice, if Notes OoO agent recognized messages that were sent to mailing lists and not reply to them. Some more checks would need to be added to the function DocumentOK in OoO agent…

    • Built into Notes

      By Ben Rose 2 decades ago

      Mati,



      There is already functionality in Notes to prevent OOO replies being sent in Internet addresses, do you expect something better than this?



      Regards,

      • Built-in not good enough

        By Mati Ustav 2 decades ago

        The built-in functionality is too primitive. Most users do want to send OoO messages to internet addresses, but not mailing lists. The only option right now is to add the addresses of all the mailing lists to OoO exclusion list, but this is too much trouble for most users, so not many people use it. I would like to have an additional checkbox that says something like "Do not reply to internet messages where I'm not in to:, cc: or bcc: fields". You can also detect mailing list traffic by checking for "Precedence: bulk" or "Precedence: list" message headers, but not all list processors use these headers. Or maybe not have a checkbox at all, although I'd like to keep things configurable.



        BR,

        Mati

        • I have the code for this

          By Mati Ustav 2 decades ago

          I have implemented the function and can send the code to you if you're interested.



          Cheers,

          Mati

    • Restrict the Scope of OoO processing

      By Mike J Perrett 2 decades ago

      I've made a suggestion before that if OoO processing could be restricted to the inbox, then any emails auto filed from say mailing lists would not get a reply. Likewise any spam you get would also not get a reply



      This dovetails nicely with the request I made about having a mail rule to only deliver mail to the inbox, if the sender can be found in the contact list.
