Environment

Situation

    GWIA does not send message from reply rule
    Creator of rule gets undeliverable recipient(s) message from Postmaster
    ERROR: "Response: 504 Need Fully Qualified Address"
    GWIA inbound/outbound messages work fine, except for reply rule

    Resolution

    1. Launch ConsoleOne
    2. Click Tools | GroupWise System Opertions | Select Domain and connect to the Domain

    6. Select "Use GroupWise user address as Mail From: for rule generated messages"
    7. Click "Apply"
    8. Click "OK"
    9. Restart GWIA

    Cause

    Rule generated messages are handled a little differently at the GWIA to help to prevent looping messages.   The "From" information also can be populated by adding a postmaster to the GWIA.
