Is there a way to override Sieve's "not sending notification for auto-submitted message" behavior?

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.

Like I mentioned above or is there a better way to go about it?

I'm using Postfix 2.11.x + Dovecot 2.2.x to handle our mail.

Thanks again for your help!
