Inbox rules (auto reply) and Outbox rules questions

I'm checking incoming messages for a certain subject. If the subject contains the string I want to auto-reply with a certain message.
The auto-reply works, but I notice the message doesn't show up in the Sent maibox. Is there a reason for that?
Also, I have an Outbox rule set up to forward the auto-reply mail to another address. That doesn't seem to take place.
What I really want to accomplish is just to auto-reply and bcc the auto-reply to a 3rd email address. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Apart from Lauras excellent answer, make your relay provider whitelist
your hostname and put it back in place. The hostname *is* important,
even when using a relay, and is used as sender for other mails, like
error messages.

  • Office 365 Shared Mailboxes - Auto Reply

    We've just migrated from an exchange 2003 to Office 365.
    We have several shared mailboxes where previously they had an out of office setup with a generic message on it.  Now that those mailboxes have been turned into'Office 365 Shared Mailboxes' without licenses attatched, i can't seem to work out how to
    setup a similar auto reply for each of the mailboxes. 
    The only thing i can see is to assign a license to each of the mailboxes that we want to have an auto reply and treat them as normal users, but this just seems a waste of money.
    Any Help?

    It appears you may have bumped into a limitation of Office 365.
    You might try this workaround.  License the mailbox, log in, set the out of office message, log out, and remove the license.  If the out of office message stays, then you have your workaround.  Please post here whether or not that works so
    others will benefit from your experience.

  • Auto-reply using rules

    Hi there!
    I'm trying to find out how to send an auto-reply using Rules in Mail 3.6
    Or, to be more precise, i'm trying to understand how to do it PROPERLY: in fact this morning my boss called me to say he got approx. 60 emails from me, replying even mails from 2009/2010... and it was EMBARRASING!!
    Some questions:
    - when a Rule is set to auto-reply, does my own reply appear in the 'Sent' mailbox afterwards? Not in my case. Is it normal? I cannot see my reply 'flying away' in the 'Mail Activity' window either...
    - when i press the '<' button in front of the received mail, that usually opens the mail i've sent as reply, i got a error window "Error. Mail was unable to find your response to the message “xxxxx”. You may have deleted the message." even if the correct reply generated by Rules was actually sent. Again, any idea why this happens?
    - when a Rule is created, does it apply to ANY message in the mailbox, including old ones, or only to new mails?
    That's it for now...
    Thanks for help,
    J.

    Ok, after some more trials i've got the answer for my 3rd question... I have to click "Don't Apply" to avoid the rule to be applied to old messages.
    But let's agree that the whole window:
    "Do you want to apply your rules to messages in selected mailboxes?
    Applying rules to the selected mailboxes may change their contents. Active rules will always be applied to new  messages."
    is quite ambiguous.
    I'm still wondering the reason for the behaviour described in my first two questions...
    Thanks,
    J.

  • Auto reply (client rule) Outlook only Outlook 2010

    When i setup a rule in outlook 2010 for automactic reply it say Client rule only. Is it possible to make this rule perminent so that i can close the outlook and the auto reply rule is still working. Maybe a server
    based rule? We use outlook client with O365 exchange On-Premises
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,

    Hi,
    I've tried the following with Outlook 2010 connected to Exchange 2013, and this works for me;
    Select the Inbox, and click Tools, then Rules and Alerts.
    Click New Rule and click Check messages when they arrive.
    Click Next twice (don’t do anything in the "What condition(s) do you want to check?" box.)
    Select have server reply using a specific message, and click …a specific message. A blank email appears.
    In the Subject and Message fields, type the message you want to send. Leave the To, CC, and BCC (if showing) fields blank
    Click Save and Close to close the message window and click Next.
    Select the appropriate exclusion option (if any) and click Next.
    Name the rule (do not check the Run this rule… checkbox.) and check Turn on this rule.
    Click Finish.
    That works for me. Make sure your outlook profile is configured to use the mailbox that you want to have the auto-reply configured.
    If this still does not work, the alternative is to set up a transport rule on the Exchange server.

  • Rule: Auto-reply

    A rule I've set up works just fine EXCEPT
    1) There is no trace of the auto reply in my SENT box. How do I obtain evidence the rule fired correctly if there's nothing in my SENT folder? (or am I missing something)
    2) When someone has an autoreply of their own it creates a STORM of emails going back and forth. How do I set the rule to interrupt that behavior?
    Thanks!

    Anyone out there?

  • Mac Mail Rule - auto reply not sending while computer off

    I created a Rule to send an out of office message while I was on vacation.  I made the rule active and tested it from a different email account, and it worked.
    While I was gone my computer was turned off.  I was receiving emails, but no auto-reply message went out.  When I got back to the office and booted up my computer and opened Mac Mail, it was then that all of my auto-reply messages went out.  So, if someone emailed me a week before, they did not receive any auto-reply until I booted up my computer and opened Mac Mail.  If someone had emailed me 5 times while I was gone, they received 5 auto-reply responses when I returned and booted up the computer and opened Mac Mail. 
    How can I make it so that Mac Mail sends the auto-reply while I am away and the computer is off?

    I don't think you can send e-mails when the computer is off and the program is shut down. Try setting up a reply on your e-mail provider's web site.

  • New inbox rule not showing up in Outlook 2007 client

    I have made a rule for testing with the Exchange Management Shell. The rule worked. My problem lies in that the end-users have Outlook 2007 for the client software but the rule I create isn't visible (though it is working). The end-user needs to be able
    to switch the rule on and off still. The rule does show up in the Outlook Web App however. I can't figure out why the rule isn't list in the Outlook 2007 client. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi AMartin89,
    Thank you for your question.
    Did you rebuild profile to check if the issue persist?
    Did the issue occur on all users?
    Could you post command which you create Inbox rule on PS?
    What is you outlook version? We could update outlook to latest version to check if the issue persist.
    We could configure profile on outlook 2010 to check if the issue persist.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • Disable Inbox Rules for Disable Users

    I have found that when our helpdesk disables an AD user account (terminated employee) that has an Outlook inbox rule to forward the email to an email address outside the organization, emails sent to the former employee are still forwarded to that outside
    email address.  I would like to run a script each day that queries AD for all disabled accounts, removes any forwarding SMTP adresses, then removes all mailbox inbox rules.  I have been trying to use get-aduser against a DC and export the list of
    disabled users, this works fine.  I then take that csv, import it and use -foreach-object to set the forwarding smtp address to null.  I would then like to use the same csv file to run the -removeinbox rule command against the list.  I am having
    a hard time time combining the commands I need into a PS script that works against both AD and Exchange.
    Anyone have some powershell kung fu to assist me?  Thank you!
    ~Eric

    Hi Eric,
    According to your description, I understand that you want a script to get a list of disabled AD user, then removes any forwarding SMTP addresses, then removes all mailbox inbox rules.
    We can run following command to get a list of disabled AD user in PowerShell:
    Get-ADUser -Filter 'Enabled -eq "false"' | select name,userprincipalname
    More details about “How Can I Get a List of All the Disabled User Accounts in Active Directory? “, for your reference:

    Also, run below command to disable forwarding SMTP address and inbox rule:
    Get-Mailbox  -Identity xxxx | Set-Mailbox -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false
    Get-InboxRule –Mailbox xxxx | remove-InboxRule
    However, we recommend use this disable AD user to disable mailbox.
    By the way, this question will related to the script of Exchange server, please contact relevant team so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

  • Links in mails forwarded by an inbox rule get broken/removed

    Hi,
    after I upgraded from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 I got a weired problem with auto forwared e-mails as this mails end up with broken (empty).
    Only links with custom protocol headers are broken/removed, HTML links (http://, https://) are not removed.
    Only internal mails forwarded by an inbound rule (created with outlook) have this problem, mails forwarded directly with Outlook or mails auto forwarded (inbox rule) to an external receipient are ok.
    Original links in HTML Mail Source (partly) look like this
    <a href="MIS:\\VGD12_1_KS\2014\0623\VGD12_1_Kreditsanierung_TM604_D20140623.xlsm?openmode=0">VGD12_1_Kreditsanierung_TM604_D20140623.xlsm<
    and end up as
    <a href="">VGD12_1_Kreditsanierung_TM604_D20140623.xlsm<
    Any suggestion to solve or further analyse this problem is welcome.

    Hi Martin,
    From your description, I recommend you send the following message to an internal recipient directly and check if it will be corrupted.

  • Both inbox and outbox from Gmail ends up in my gmail/pop/mail inbox

    Both inbox and outbox from Gmail ends up in my gmail/pop/mail inbox; how to resolve?
    - So: the mail I send via gmail comes also in my inbox of mail in which I use the gmail pop account.
    Please help!

    This is a Gmail issue. Gmail POP access doesn’t work like a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies:
    1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
    2. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes, which causes everything (and I mean everything) still on the server to be downloaded again.
    3. The Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client. What happens to the messages on the server after a POP client has downloaded them is determined by Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP > When messages are accessed with POP setting alone. In the case of Gmail (and only in that case), I recommend turning OFF Remove copy from server in Mail, so that Mail doesn’t even try to remove any messages from the server, regardless of whether you do actually want already downloaded messages to be removed from the server after some time or not.
    4. Messages sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were received messages. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent — as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want.
    5. Messages sent using a POP/SMTP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in #4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. Since they’re on the server nonetheless, already sent messages would be downloaded together with all the other messages on the server if proceeding as described in #2.
    6. A particular case of #5 are messages sent to yourself. Instead of putting a copy of the sent message in the server’s Inbox and making it available for download, both the sent and the “received” message on the server are actually one and the same, and hence, cannot be downloaded via POP for the reason explained in #5.
    7. Gmail allows POP accounts to be set up in a special way that avoids some of these issues while introducing others. If you only need POP access to the last 30 days of mail, you can configure Mail in “recent mode”, as described in How should I use POP on mobile or multiple devices?, i.e. by typing “recent:” (including the colon but not the quotes) at the beginning of the User Name field (not in the Email Address field) in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information. Configuring the account this way would allow Mail to download messages marked by Gmail as already downloaded (and download messages sent to yourself in particular), but it would also cause all sent messages (not just messages sent to yourself or through webmail) to be downloaded as if they were received messages.

  • Gmail filters vs. Mail Inbox Rules: Who wins?

    I have both Gmail filters and Apple Inbox Rules. If both Gmail and Apple Mail are running, whose filter runs first?

    mdh98368 wrote:
    If both Gmail and Apple Mail are running ...
    I believe this part of your question is irrelevant.  For "both Gmail and Apple Mail to be running", it sounds like you're talking about running two separate, independent, but possibly conflicting apps on your Mac.  If that's what you're doing, you should shut one of them down.
    The normal series of events would be that incoming email would hit your gmail account (out there on the web) and your gmail filters would be applied at that time.  Then, the gmail server would send the incoming message to your Apple Mail, which would apply its rules at that time.  This assumes you have your gmail account set up in the Apple Mail app.
