Problem with Mail autoresponder setup with mailing lists.
Heres my problem.
We currently have our company email setup on our plesk server. everyone has a user@domain.com email address. We also have some mailing lists such as accounts@domain.com and all@domain.com. All our users are listed in these mailing lists, ie everyone is listed in 'all' and the accounts team are listed under 'accounts'.
The problem i have, is to do with setting up the email autoresponder up on their account. If an email get sent to all@domain.com - the 'all' mailing list - the email gets distributed to this list. Now if a member of the list has an autoresponder switched on then the account replys to all@domain.com. In turn this then gets sent back out to everyone on the mailing list. And so the loop continues....
As you can see if uncontrolled you get a cascading mail scenario. Now to limit this effect i have put a limit on the number of responses to 1 per specific email user per day.
I would like to irridicate this all together, maybe so that the mailing list all@domain.com doesnt except messages that are flagged as coming from the auto responder maybe?
or is there a way to setup the autoresponder not to reply to messages from a specific user?
Or could i use spam assasin? although i believe that spam assassin only works to flag messages as containing spam, rather than eliminating it altogether.
My aim is to not limit emails coming from all@domain.com, but to cut off the auto responder from replying to that address only.
I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
