Out Of Office Reply

Post by Ted Myers »

Hello, If I get an email notification for a new post when my Email Account has Out Of Office Reply set. Where does the Auto Reply go? I know not to reply to them.
If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have NO luck at all.

Do you get a notification of this reply? If so, start to reply to it (but don't actually send). You'll see who it will be sent to.
Best wishes,
Hans

Hi Hans, my membership email for this account is not the one that has 'Out of Office' setting.
I did as you asked, it was to admin@eileenslounge.com
Some Forums advise 'Do Not Reply To This Email'
If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have NO luck at all.

I thought that our notifications also had such an advice.
Best wishes,

You need to look at the email header to see what the Reply to: header is. By default it will be the sender, but it is possible to set a different address.

Hello Leif, its the 'do not reply to this email' I was looking for, for Hans.
