Auto-reply (vacation) with exception for mailinglist

[Jorgeos]

Hello,
I'm setting up ZCS NE into production and i want to be sure about this:
If user setup "Send auto-reply message" in webmail and first mailinglist email arrives: will ZCS send auto-reply message to mailing list, or is there any mechanism that sends auto-reply messages only to non-mailing lists emails?

Thanks for help.

Best Regards.
Jorge

You'll want to look into these bugs:

Bug 47874 – out of office and systematic replies on distribution lists
Bug 41347 – to be able to define exceptions to outofoffice message

There are some others also dealing with autoreply, but those seem most relevant.

Technically mailing lists often have Precedence: list or Precedence: bulk in their headers. Not sure if this is a standard field, but conceivably ZCS could use it to intelligently decide whether an autoreply is appropriate.

It's been my experience that, as long as the in bound email isn't going directly to your email address (i.e. My mailing lists come to the name of the list and not mail email address), that Zimbra won't respond.
