Hi:

I do seem to be experiencing difficulties with rules these days.......

I created a rule that includes having the server respond with a specific
message (in fact, all the rule does is to have the server respond with a
particular message). The rule is working - I know that since I can sent a
test message and receive the appropriate response back. The problem is that
there is nothing in the account to indicate that the response was actually
sent - I would have thought that the sent messages would show up in my sent
messages folder.

Am I doing something wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this?

PS: I have checked all the account local folders - the message that are sent
based on the above rule can't be found anywhere in the account.

It is a server side rule - why should it show in your client folders?

Well, now that you point that out, I guess that makes sense, but since I'm
using other server side rules that affect things in my local folders, and
since the server is responding to email that was sent to me..... I thought
that the server would be 'smart' enough to place a copy of the email that it
sent on my behalf, in my folders.

Perhaps I should have posed the question differently......

Is there a rule that would automatically send a response and keep a copy of
that response in my local folders?
