It's just quite a nuisance when you send out an email with only one or two to
addresses and a whole bunch of cc
/bcc
addresses just because they were previously part of the email chain and you then get spammed with half a dozen out-of-office replies from people that are in no way relevant to the conversation.
Obviously I care about out-of-office replies from the people in the to
field, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather not receive the ones from people in the cc
list. Unfortunately I can't do much about them sending them, so I'm hoping to find some way of filtering them instead. If I can't find a way of doing this on Gmail, I might have to try to do this at a mail server level and route all my mail through a server I control.
Is there any way this can be filtered out in Gmail? Is there an alternative I could use where this could be done?
