| Description |
|
Any receiver having auto-reply enabled will result in an auto-reply mail being sent back to the sender address for any notifications sent out from Zabbix. I.e. for no-reply addresses will end up bouncing with several retries and mails received as a consequence. By including certain headers to the mails sent will make the receiver (server) skip sending auto-reply for these types of mails. Patch for applying the headers has been attached to this issue. Details of the related headers:

is this a standard header or a MS-only extension ? |

richlv: Works for me in Google Apps, for received mails in other software where these lines have been injected, so it's not only a Outlook/Exchange feature. Unfortunately I don't have a complete list of clients/servers supporting it. |

thank you. according to the linked redmine defect report, the following headers probably should be set : X-Auto-Response-Suppress: All Auto-Submitted: auto-generated the following one should not be set, as zabbix alerts are not autoreplies : X-Autoreply |

There's a patch attached to this issue, that can be applied to the "email.c" file containing these two lines. |
