Problem/Query: A Domino server should be configured to automatically reply to all incoming mails with one standard message. I do not want to activate the OOO-agent on all mailboxes, is there a general solution available which works on the router level? Server mail rules in the configuration document do not offer such a feature.
Any ideas?
Currently I am thinking of setting up a new mailbox file, activate the OOO and modify all person documents to point to this mailbox.
There is unfortunately no “reply to all messages” rule in the server based rules.
If you want to keep the documents in the right nsf and do not want to redirect everything into one mailbox I would suggest a solution containing 2 steps:
Step 1: Enable journaling
You can enable journaling for all mails using a rule in configuration document to write all incoming mails to a journal database and using the normal journaling. This is quite easy and does not need much effort to setup
Step 2: Agent in journal database
Create a simple agent, that replies once to every mail in that journal database and then deletes the mail from the journal to prevent the growth of that database.
This needs a little bit of knowledge but not too much.
In this Thomas Hampel mentioned one work around,
“You can configure your server to route all mail into a single Domino application. In that NSF you can run an agent triggered “after new mail has arrived” to respond to those mails. Will this fit your needs ?”
That sounds interesting… how do you configure Domino to route all mail into a single Domino application? The interesting part unfortunately is left out in this suggestion by Thomas Hampel…
