RT autoreply and spam

Dear All,
How do I stop RT from sending an autoreply message to spam?, can I do
something like “if incoming address doesn’t match discard it and
do nothing”

Many thanks,
Steve.

I’m not sure you can do it inside RT. Why not going through procmail
instead?

Aliases file:

help: “|/usr/bin/procmail /etc/procmailrcs/request-tracker”

You can prevent RT from auto replying by changing the “Precedence” of the
e-mail to “Bulk”. We do this using procmail and formail to avoid replying
to e-mails from addresses we know we don’t want to reply to. Here’s an
example:

:0fhw: .msgid.lock

  • ^From:.amazon.com.
    | formail -i “Precedence: Bulk”

You could use some kind of spam detector and change the precedence to bulk
that way.
