Goal:

If you can't do it with dovecot / pigeonhole then consider doing something in the MTA like removing the Auto-Submitted header before delivery
Thank you for taking the time to read my email and offer suggestions!
I was starting to think the same thing. I've been thinking about using a local alias to pipe to a script to handle generating my own notifications for Google Calendar emails. I also thought about creating some sort of filter/milter to just strip out the header for those emails before letting the Sieve filter handle the rest, but I've not yet had a chance to research just how to go about that.
or of course you can just send your notification out of there.
Like I mentioned above or is there a better way to go about it?
Which MTA are you using?
I'm using Postfix 2.11.x + Dovecot 2.2.x to handle our mail.
Thanks again for your help!
So yea if you're on postfix I don't know of better/other terms to think of this in. In exim, you could send out a notification and/or strip/add/modify headers without any external script or writing any "code" per se, just within exim's config file. Although writing a milter for postfix isn't all that complicated either. Postfix has [ http://www.postfix.org/header_checks.5.html ], you can use that to remove a header (IGNORE), you just might be able to set that up to test for the right conditions *when* to do this, and then proceed to remove the header. Gotta run now so I can't put more thought into it at the moment but do post if you figure it out :D
