Bug ID: 2890
Summary: allow autoreply driver to send replies with non empty
(settable) sender address
Product: Exim
Version: 4.95
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: wishlist
Priority: medium
Component: Transports
Assignee: unallocated@???
Reporter: arekm@???
CC: exim-dev@???
This feature request is about making "return_path" option working with
autoreply transport.
autoreply transport currently sends emails with empty "<>" sender, always.
That is "To reduce the possibility of message cascades".
There is no way to change that. Generic transport option "return_path" has no
effect for autoreply transport.
That leads to some issues where for example gmail rejects such messages (with
<> sender) when DMARC is on and only SPF is used (no DKIM).
Also user that has autoreply feature activated doesn't get any bounces
(obviously) for failed autoreply-mail deliveries and can never be sure which
autoreplies were delivered and which did not.
Also we could just want to have these send with real sender address.
Working "return_path" transport option would allow autoreply messages fulfill
one of above needs, adding flexibility to autoreply feature.
For preventing message cascades - once & once_repeat, with some non 0 time,
should do the job, too.
