samba - Jun 2011 - Braindead Autoreply filters... WAS Re: samba Digest, Vol 102, Issue 8

It would be nice if one of the list moms would immediately unsubscribe
AND PERMANENTLY BAN idiots who use braindead autoreply filters.

This should be official list policy for ALL email lists...

I am not sure how much control  some e-mail apps/servers give you over 
auto-replies-  Exchange 2007/Outlook 2007 lets you set a separate reply 
for internal vs external senders, and lets you restrict external 
responses to only senders in your address book.

You can of course create a custom wizard to send replies to all users 
with specific exceptions.

My own solution was to use my gmail acct and NOT use my work e-mail for 
most list subscriptions- that way I can limit Out of Office replies 
strictly to work related e-mail (and therefore to people who actually 
care if I am out of the office or not.)

Except some people don't have a choice in what mail server they can use.
They're punished because someone in their IT department made a decision
which they had no input in?

(This is also why I have lists always go to my personal address, which has
ended changing a lot less often than my work address.)

Incidentally, RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
Electronic Mail") has some really good stuff. Hopefully it will be
implemented more.
