i want to send an autoreply to all new senders who send mail to a specific address. The next time they send a message they should not get an autoreply.
So my rule setup is (see screenshot):
if all the following conditions are met:
to - is equal to - bogus@bull.com +
sender is not in my previous recipients
perform the following actions:
move message to mailbox x
Reply to message with this text
The idea is that these *new* senders (from whom i did not previously receive a message) get this reply mail *once* - only the first time i receive a message from them. The next time they send me a message they should not get an autoreply.
But this configuration does not work!
It only works if I set it to:
to - contains - bogus@bull.com
The result of this last setup is that everybody who ever sent me a message (also the previous recipients) to the specific address bogus@bull.com gets the automatic reply!
Does anyone know a working configuration or an applescript?
I general i am *very* disappointed with Mail app because various mails i get whatever my configuration of rules and the junk mail filter gets tagged as junk, even mails i sent myself (those in the sent items box)
Not to mention the unreliability of rules
I even consider switching to (puke-barf) entourage! Bhuuhhaw
