I am curious to know how did you define the filter on an alias in the first place ? is it a filter defined globaly in dovecot ? I don't see how it can be defined in any individual mailbox. Can you show the dovecot/sieve configuration to achieve this ?

Hi Yassine,
Thanks for the effort, unfortunately, we cannot turn it into an actual mailbox, this is a long story that I don't want to include here. but it would not be a valid option in our environment. Any other ideas
Is it possible to do it with vacation? Is there another auto responder or plugin that can achieve this? How do ticketing systems handle this?
Thanks Monis
