Setting up auto-reply for Exchange Distribution Group/List?

958 Views Asked by At

So I thought I have this setup correctly, but it is not working. Maybe someone can help?

I setup a mailbox called formsmbx (for FORMS MailBoX)

I setup a distribution list (DL) in Exchange 2013 named forms

In this DL, I added one member (formsmbx).

In Exchange, I setup a mail flow rule with these parameters:

If sender is 'outside the organization' AND the To or CC box contains forms@, 
Then bcc the message to formsmbx@.

I logged into a Windows computer running Outlook 2019 as formsmbx. I went to File/Manage Ruls & Alerts. I setup a Rule that says:

after message arrives
have server reply using 'auto reply'

So finally, I sent an email from [email protected] to [email protected]. What I found was the formsmbx@ inbox receives the email, but there is never an auto-reply sent out.

If I send an email directly to formsmbx@, I do not get any reply.
