Auto Reply

[Terry]

Using Outlook 07 I set up a auto reply, however the replay goes to all my
junk mail senders as well as good mail senders. Is there a way to filter the
junk mail senders from the Auto Reply?

How do you have things configured?
Which mail account type are you using?

 

[Terry]

POP3 if that is what you are asking

If the Junk Email is being filtered by Outlook's Junk Email Filter than it
won't reply to those messages as the Junk Email Filter works before any
configured rules.

Roady,

I'm using the Junk mail filter; however the junk mail is not being
permanently deleted. Configured like this the auto reply IS going out to all
the junk mail senders.

To set up this auto reply I used the Outlook Help "Automatically reply to
messages"

Which mail account type are you using?
If an Exchange account, your admin needs to enable server side Junk Email
filtering.

 

[Terry]

No Exchange just POP3 to an internet mail server.

And you've set the Auto Reply via an Outlook rule and not via your ISP?
What makes you think Outlook is replying to the Junk Email?

Well an example,
I had three new messages in my inbox and 12 in my junk mail. the three in
the inbox are from people I know and I send messages to.

I did not send and new messages except the auto reple, I received 10 mail
failure address unknown bounce backs

It could be that your mail profile is damaged then. Rules should always
execute after the Junk Email filter. You can create a new mail profile and
see if it works then. See;
