In webmail iMS5.2 autoreply options, a user can configure 2 differents texts, one for so called "internal" senders, and another one for so called "external" senders

after some tests, it seems it considers any sender which is in exactly the same domain as the user (according to the mail attributes) as "internal", everything else is "external"

this is not the behavior i'd expect from an autoreply daemon (i think it should check which mail domains are hosted on this messaging server instance before making its external/internal decision. Maybe it should even consider vanity domains, but this is debatable).

It is a standard installation of ims5.2 patch 1. according to the documentation, there aren't any interesting options to fine-tune the autoreply channel behaviour.

have i missed something in the configuration (maybe you must add all "internal" domains somewhere), or is this really the way it works (in which case, we should consider it's broken)

of course, for a provider this is probably what he wants, but we have some subdomains, and it is quite unformtunate that the autoreply daemon considers a.domain.com as "external" to b.domain.com. Furthermore, we also have a second main domain, which is therefore also considered totally external to domain.com, event if it is hosted on the same server.

any ideas ?

PS: il have already thought of writing my own autoreply daemon, using the program delivery feature. Can you have simultaneous multiple program deliveries methods for one useraccount ?

Thanks
