Mail, auto-reply

Hi,

From a certain sender i get emails i don't want to ignore but reply with an auto-reply message directing them to my lawyer's email address.

In iCloud I can not find such an option. In iCloud's "Auto-Reply" you can only have an auto-reply set up which replies to all senders of incoming mail.

In "Rules" in iCloud actions are limited, like move to folder i.e. (Not an auto-reply option).

It is possible though in my Mail preferences - "Rules" on my iMac. I can set up rules with the settings i want:

I can choose "Add Rule", choose "From", choose "Contains", choose "Reply to Message" and then "Reply Message Text". (Fill out the desired auto-reply text in a seperate window and click ok). This is not an issue to set up.

The issue is that NO auto-reply from me is actually send to the sender (I have tested several times).

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

In iCloud:

"Auto-Reply"

"Rules"

In Mail preferences on iMac:

"Rules"
