auto-responder template

Sometimes poorly configured email software leads AutoResponders like vacation to loop. This happens when out-of-office messages get relayed to member accounts that spawn more out-of-office messages. To avoid this traffic, there is a configurable limit for the number of comments a user can post to a given location over a configurable period of time.

Once that limit has been reached, PageSeeder sends a warning to the sender for each email. After a configurable number of warnings any further emails are ignored and nothing is returned to the sender.

Configuration

The auto responder limits, waiting time and number of warnings can be configured with the autoResponderLimit, autoResponderReplyLimit, autoResponderMinutes and autoResponderWarings Global Properties.

Email headers

This message sets the following headers by default:

PageSeeder also adds the following non-standard email header:

com.pageseeder.mail.Bounce set to true.

XML

PageSeeder produces the following XML for the XSLT template:

<notification template="auto-responder"
              emaildomain="example.org"
              hosturl="https://example.org">

  <!-- Auto responder settings -->
  <autoresponder limit="25"
                 minutes="90"
                 replylimit="10"
                 warnings="5" />

  <!-- The comment that triggered the auto responder notification -->
  <comment id="123"
           contentrole="Comment"
           created="2012-03-08T12:34:00+10:00"
