I have created a distributed group which have to send a auto reply when receiving a mail. I know that it is impossible to send a auto reply within a distributed group, but following a guide I have created a mail account called “noreply”.
In outlook I have created a rule in the “noreply” account where I chose following conditions:
Send to a person or distributed list (where I selected my distributed group)
Then to specify what to do with that message I selected
Have server reply using a specific message
I’ve created my message and saved it.
But when I try to write an e-mail to the distributed group it doesn’t send back the reply message.
Does anyone knows what I’m doing wrong?
Sincerely
Mestika

If I understand correctly, your intention is to have the noreply account forward your email to the distribution group and respond with an affirmative.
If this is the case, you should send the email to the noreply account, not directly to the distribution group.
