Re: Difference between notify and redirect

> The new version of CommuniGate - 6.1.10 has a notify option for the vacation message rule. What is the difference between notify (sending a copy of the incoming message to someone else), and the redirect rule when also keeping a copy for yourself?

With the Notify option enabled and the list of addresses not empty the 
vacation rule does not use the Replied Addresses address book and 
replies to every message; the Forward to action is used to notify the 
specified addresses. (The forwarded messages look more like 
notifications than redirected or mirrored ones.)

This has been implemented within one rule as usually this automatic 
redirection/forwarding should end with the vacation, and some customers 
asked us to pack this into one simplified rule.

If you prefer to send automatic replies only once per a sender, you 
probably will not use the Notify option but rather use Redirect all Mail 
rule - but you will need to enable/disable it manually.

Speaking of the new Vacation rule - we just realized that the Start day 
parameter should be setting in its condition the date which is a day 
earlier than one set in UI. Most likely this will be addressed in the 
next version. On the other hand - I do not remember complaints on the 
End date parameter, which has been there for a while already: it has the 
same +/- one day problem. Should we change that as well?
