I'm not sure I understand entirely how that works. Can you please let me know if understand this right? If I go on vacation, I set my autoresponder on. I also add my email address to the redlist - ex: eric @email.com. So now, whenever email comes in destined for eric @email.com, the email gets processed by ASSP and gets tagged as SPAM if it is spam instead of being rejected (similar to the SpamLover's address). Also, it does not get stored in either the spam or the notspam folder. The email then gets passed off to the MTA. The MTA knowing that I am away on vacation automatically responds to the incoming email. Since my address (the From: address) is on the redlist, the outgoing message's recipients do not get automatically added to the whitelist. Is that accurate? If so, the next question is how practical is it to constantly update the redlist everytime someone goes on vacation? Also, in what other scenarios would one want to use it? Thanks!
