XFOR: Automatic Replies to SMTP Reports Disallowed (216161)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q216161 SYMPTOMS
When you apply the AutoReply rules to SMTP reports, it may cause a message volley situation if the Disable auto-replies to the Internet check box is not selected. Non-delivery reports (NDR), Delivery Receipts (DR), Read Receipts (RR), non-Read Notification (NRN), and Out of Office (OOF) messages are the types of reports that may cause the above problem.
CAUSE
When a report is generated for SMTP, the RFC-821 MAIL FROM: field should be
<> (null) however the RFC-822 To: line typically contains the
postmaster information of the system that generated the report (for
example, postmaster@microsoft.com). Exchange Server AutoReply rules would
then automatically reply to this postmaster account. If the postmaster
account sent back a non-delivery report, this scenario could repeat.
This same situation could occur if the user's AutoReply rule requested a
delivery receipt. The delivery receipt could be automatically replied to
requesting another delivery receipt. This could cause another message
volley situation.
