2059.0. "Forward strange behaviour." by EVOAI2::ALETON () Mon Jan 11 1993 10:22

    
    
    Hello;
    
    A user have an ALL-IN-1 strange behaviour when he forwards a mail :
    
    - He receives a mail.  
    - Reads it.
    - forwards it to other users.
    
    When he forwards to less then 3 users; forward funtionnality works
    properly. But when he forwards to more then 3 users, messages is
    well received by the recipient but messages come back to  himself too . 
    
    This happends in randomize way. Stange.
    
    If someone has ideas ..
    
    regards
    
    Philipp

2059.1	ALL-IN-1 can't recognise "you" as a remote address	SCOTTC::MARSHALL	It's raining again	`Mon Jan 11 1993 10:38`	16
	I don't think the problem is the number of addressees on the message, but the method of addressing. If I receive a message addressed to MARSHALL (and others) then forward it, ALL-IN-1 works out that the address MARSHALL is me, and doesn't include me in the forwarded message. However, if my address on the message is MARSHALL @ A1 @ IOSG @ REO, then ALL-IN-1 doesn't know that is me: the user agent can't make assumptions about the possible significance of the routing terms, which are the MTA's responsibility. Thus my address is included on the forwarded message, and is sent to me, via message router. Hope that helps, Scott
2059.2	Turn off this ?	EVOAI2::ALETON		`Tue Jan 12 1993 08:05`	7
	Is there a way to turn off this behaviour within ALL-IN-1 ? Regards Philippe
2059.3	No :-)	IOSG::PYE	Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice	`Tue Jan 12 1993 11:23`	6
	Only if you can work out a way of telling that it is absolutely and definitely the same person under all possible circumstances. We can't, so you get two copies. Graham
2059.4	Problem with Answer not Forward!	IOSG::COTTINGHAM		`Tue Jan 12 1993 12:44`	7
	I think Scott was referring to a problem when Answering mail rather than Forwarding. I have no idea on the Forwading gtr 3 Addresses problem. Can you give any more information on the Addresses that cause Self addressing. This could be caused by an Auto Forward? Regards Alan
2059.5	Possibly.....	IOSG::PYE	Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice	`Tue Jan 12 1993 16:08`	7
	Another reason for this to happen is that one of the addressees has VMSMAIL as their mail destination in the profile, and that YOU have your VMSMail account set up to auto copy self on send. Then when ALL-IN-1 is delivering the mail to this person, it starts up VMSMail in the subprocess, and you get sent a copy. Graham
2059.6	issue still exist	EVOAI2::ALETON		`Mon Jan 18 1993 13:20`	9
	I check the vaxmail issue and modify the auto copy self but the problem still exists!!!! More ideas ? Thanks Regards Philippe
2059.7		FORTY2::ASH	Grahame Ash @REO	`Mon Jan 18 1993 14:33`	7
	Philippe, It's all a bit abstract at the moment - can you let us see an example of the forwarded message so we have some real data to work with? It's always easier to see a picture! grahame
