132504 - MDN receipt generation needs to handle request messages been filtered to different account

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Jeff Tsai]

The rule to decide whether to send an MDN to the sender can become troublesome 
if the request message gets to filtered to a different account. For sure, it 
will become the case of the sender addr is outside of your local domain.

Does that mean that right now if it's filtered to a different account, we won't
send a return receipt when it's displayed?

in addition to scott's question, I think I need clarification to.
Is this similar to my bug 136476?

Yes and no, it is similar to 136476 but more to it. The rule of deciding 
whether the sender is within the same domain can be misleading. There are some 
oddness too when filtering message among different accounts. Filter request for 
mdn message from imap to pop, may cause rr never generated. On the other hand 
from pop to imap, the filter action failed on acquring folder semaphor.
