Groupwise 6 - How internal emails handle the out of office

[jdavis37]

notice? Can someone let me know how this would work? If the users setup and (out of office) notice. How does the internal email handle this message? would it even go to the users on the outside. ?

jdavis37,

In GW 6.x, the post office keeps track of which email addresses have received an auto-reply for each rule. Auto-replies are sent to any given email address only once (to prevent looping). They are sent to both internal and external addresses, unless you specify differently in the rule.

Thanks, Ron

I only ask because one of the techs for this company mentioned that users had the rule for (out of the office setup) and it flooded and froze their mailbox from outside emails. I also heard they turned this feature off. I also thought this was setup on a user level not po level.

?

In 6.x auto-reply looping is a feature that can be turned on/off. By default, it is off to prevent that sort of thing from happening. Previous to version 6.0, you could not prevent auto-replies from looping.
