Selective Vacation Response - lost functionality due to Beta changes
Previously I used the custom sieve feature in the Beta interface to return an autoreply for selected email addresses.
The ability to add custom sieve script has now been removed as part of the big improvements to the Rules interface. However... in the Vacation Response screen, in the list of email addresses for which you want replies, it's not possible to deselect my default identity, i.e. the username I log in with. I do not want replies sent for this address. I assume (hope) it would be a relatively simple change to implement... |

Custom sieve script has not been removed; it's just changed. The link is in the bottom right of the Rules screen.

Neil, thanks for the tip. I swore I saw a post from Rob saying it was going - and on that basis I didn't even look for it, good to know it's still there.
Re: the ability remove the default identity from the standard Vacation Response - is that something that would be easily done..? Would be really nice to have. If that was in place, and now that the new Rules interface is almost ready, I'd have no need to go near custom sieve anyway. |

Hi Bill
Thanks for this, it sounds great - just want to check, will this also disable the Reject rules for the default identity? If it's only the forwarding rules that get bypassed, this will be just the ticket. |

Great. Thanks Bill, sounds very useful in that case.
Do you know whether it would be difficult for FM to implement this cleanly in the web interface? Perhaps there is some quirk that means it would affect the rest of the rules? |

Good to have the background on it. Thanks again for the sieve suggestion, it's going to be very useful to me.
