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 an Out of Office rule to respond to all e-mails - drawback: infinite mail loops, replies to spammers as well, risk of getting on blocklists; Also, this sends a mandatory Out Of Office mail once per sender, and only then sends my template
- Create a simple Rule to reply to emails - Can only be client-side, useless for me
These (1, 2) threads here didn't really have a solution either.
Any ideas?
Any tricky way to get out of loops? Maybe maximize emails sent per hour from the address?

Oh, that "send rejection message" is a good one! I'll experiment with it. It still won't avoid loops if the sender is sending auto-replies too, no? E.g. an automated newsletter service, automatically replying to all incoming mail with "Please don't respond to this mailing list." This could induce an infinite ping-pong. – vacip – 2016-07-17T18:18:09.057
