So how can this problem be resolved? If I participate on a list with 3,000 members, I'm expected to endure thousands of OOO replies each time I post to the list? There has to be a better way. I've read the posts about telling the users to switch their subscriptions to digest when they are away. That's a good idea - but let's face it - users are users. The majority of them will forget to do this. We shouldn't have to rely on users to eliminate this behavior. The user also shouldn't be burdened with the additional responsibility. Has anyone used, perhaps, a third party tool like an smtp listener to filter out OOO replies? I'm really grasping at straws here...anyone have any ides? -----Original Message----- From: Ben Parker [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 1:33 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Sender receiving OOO Replies On Thu, 17 Aug 2006 12:08:17 -0400, Jeff Kiesel <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >Our list is internal, and all recipients use Microsoft Outlook. Could it be >that Outlook's autoresponder disregards the Reply-To header? Yes, by design. My experience has been that most auto-reponders use the From: address to send their auto-response to, since that address best represents the "sender" of the message who is presumably the "best" person to notify that the recipient didn't get the message.
