Hello guys, I've got a complaint from my admins about the replying of qmail (here in conjunction with qmail-ldap).
There are a number of generic accounts on the system (such as info@ and sales@) which are only forwarded to a number of people but are not a mailbox by themselfes. The problem that came up now is that if one of those recipients sets a reply message also the senders of mail to the generic address get a reply. Unfortunatly this confuses the senders and is not intented since some else of that department is taking care of the messages. My question is what is the best way to detect a forwarded message and hinder the reply program to reply to the mail? One way I could image is to add a header while forwarding like: forwarded-to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and make the reply program to recognise this (like precedence bulk). Is there any standard way of handling this kind of situation? If yes I'll implement that into qmail-ldap, otherwise the forwarded- to header. -- Andre
