Create Automatic Reply isnt working
 
#1

Im trying to set up a filter that automatically reply when the filter conditions are met.

Im using this "create automatic reply" template:

%From='"Postmaster" <postmaster@mydomain.com>'%-
%Subject="Delivery Confirmation"%-

Hi,

This is a confirmation that the following message was recieved:

================ Original message ================================

%Headers

%Text

============================================================­======

The filter runs and report that x number of messages that mach filter conditions are filtered, but no reply is ever sendt.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Update: The function seems to be working, but not for messages in the Junk folder. Thats the folder I was trying to filter.

Is there a way to make auto-replies to messages in the junk-folder? I cound not find anything in the folder properties.

The messages caught by the anti-spam and anti-virus plug-ins (those that end up in junk or quarantine) aren't processed by your incoming filters. You can filter them manually, I guess.

You're trying to auto-reply to junk/spam mail?

Yes, I'm creating a challenge response system for messages classified as spam by the AntispamSniper plugin. The plugin works well, but occasionally some real email is misclassified as spam.

First email with a high spam score (above 90%)and all email with fake sender address (failed SPF records)is auto-deleted. Then I'm sending a challenge response to the remaining emails in the spam folder.

This assures no valid email ever will just disappear.

Hi,

The "failed SPF records" bit sounds interesting. I have had a quick look at some info on this and it may be something worth me implementing here  :D

I use the AntispamSniper plugin and think it is quite good at what it does, what sort of filters do you use with the AntispamSniper plugin?

Hi DK,

Here are some of the filters I'm using:

WHITELIST:
* All emails containing my name or company name (spammers usually just get my email, not a matching name).
* All emails submitted through forms on my website.
* All emails with valid SPF records or digitally signed (if any of these contains spam, I can just blacklist the domain)

BLACKLIST
* All email to or from somerandomname@mydomain.com
* All failed SPF records (forged sender).
* Words common in spam subjects.
* All bounced mail (mailer-daemon@ or postmaser@)
* Image spam ("cid:*@*)
