<p>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 ? <br>

<div>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</div>

<div>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?</div>

the problem is that 3 responses are sent to the

<p>Hello Monis,</p>
<p>As a workaround, you can turn <a

moz-do-not-send="true">xyz@example.com</a> into an
