Is it possible with some lotus script or agent create an auto reply to an address without out of office?
This is for purpose when I delete user and want to have an autoreply for that address.
Subject: Agent
You would have to create an agent to do this.
Several ways to do that. I think the easiest way its just to enable the OOO with a message explaining the reason.
But if you dont want that, maybe you need to create an agent in the mail database and have it run “Before mail arrives” (I think thats the option) so you create a memo and send a mail back.
Then you could probably have another agent to remove all mail older than X days so the databases dont grow large.
If thats not enough, you could create a hook in the router mailbox and have an email automatically delivered when some email arrives and has a destination of the users that dont exist anymore.
That way you dont need the mail database or even the person document (Which counts for the licenses BTW)
Subject: ooo is competent
ok, the ooo function is competent but I wish I could remove the “out of office” text. Is that possible in the designer?
I don’t have any code skills, is there any free complete agents to download for this task?
Subject: Can you be more explicit about which line you are talking about?
Subject line or within the body of the message? The subject line can be changed as you set it up,so I assume you must mean the line in the body of the message which has the dates.
It is possible to change this behavior in several ways, but it would require programming skills to change the OOO agent itself.
However, if switch to the OOO service (which gives you instant response, failover, does not require users to have rihgts to run agents), this code cannot be changed as it part of the core itself.
Subject: Check the mail template design
If you are not a developer it could take a while until you figure it out how to make the change, although I would start by looking at the design of the user mail database inside Code - Agents.
There you will find the OOO agent. Take a look at what it does. Somehow you could check what Form its using to send the “out of office” reply and modify it.
It will not be pretty but it does what you need.
Subject: Where in the code?
Ok. I found the agent but it’s pretty much code. Can’t really find the strings that I’m looking for.
