#3632 Add headers to buildsys emails to prevent auto-replies
Closed: Upstream 7 years ago Opened 11 years ago by sheltren.

= bug description =
Buildsys emails don't include Precedence or Auto-Submitted headers meaning that vacation auto-responders will attempt to send a reply back to them. Specifically I see this on a 'Broken Dependencies' email, though I assume there are others that may have the same issue.

= fix recommendation =
There are email headers that can be set which most auto-responders will respect and not reply to. Both Jira and Trac set both of two different headers:

Precedence: Bulk

Auto-Submitted: auto-generated

Since some mail systems may only work with one or the other.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-15325

http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/5288

I think that both headers should get added to outgoing buildsys emails as well as any other auto-generated type emails.


Sorry this ticket has sat here for so many years.

Almost all email from fedora infrastructure now goes via our notification service, which means we should be able to make this change there and have it work for most everything.

I've filed a ticket there:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/fmn/issues/164

Hopefully we will get this in soon. Thanks for the ticket and again sorry for the delay.
