The sales team wants to automatically send out a reply to all senders who contact their group mailbox. Something saying "Hi, thanks for contacting us, we will get back to you in 48 hours."
After some searching, I found I could:
- Create an Out of Office response - drawback: only once per sender
- Create a server-side rule to respond to all e-mails - drawback: infinite mail loops, replies to spammers as well, risk of getting on blocklists
- Transport rule - drawback: same as above; also, this is not what transport rules are for, so it would rustle my jimmies.
These (1, 2) threads here didn't really have a solution either.
Any ideas?
Maybe a way to have OoO replies fire every day? Have it automatically renew itself every day.
Any tricky way to get out of loops? Maybe maximize emails sent per hour from the address?
