1.  Setup a distribution list called RepliedTo (in Pegasus Mail press F6) . Add the email address of any and all mailing services like newsletters/blogs/listservs etc) This will prevent them from getting out-of-office messages.

2.  Setup a New Mail rule set that checks if current sender is already in the repliedTo distribution list (see Scan list rule trigger). If so just quit rule set

3. If sender not in list, then add an action to add sender to RepliedTo list

4. Send Out-of-office message to sender. ONLY DO THIS WHEN YOU ARE AT THE MACHINE, SO YOU CAN STOP PEGASUS MAIL IF THINGS SEEM TO BE REPEATING. 

As a precaution do not implement point 4. until the rest of your ruleset is working correctly.   Testing can be done quite easily by sending yourself a message from another email address, ie home email 

You have been warned... :-)

Hi.

In Pegasus is there any way to have an out of office reply for incoming e-mail?

Cheers

Technically the answer is yes BUT (sorry for the shout) there is a big problem that occurs as an outcome.  If your email address is on any newsgroup or blog or other mailing service such as ListServ, the Out-Of-Office you send out, gets mailed back to you. Then what do you do with incoming mail? Send an advisory back....

I suggest that for out-of-office for personal things like your vacations, just let the incoming mail build up.  For business clients etc, you should advise them ahead of time of any substitution email address to be used etc. MS Office/MsExchange already have this function built in.

Hi Martin, thanks for the reply. I can see there maybe some problems. However, if I did want to set it up how would I go about it?

Cheers
