Make Out Of Office Service more customizable

When using the Out Of Office agent, you have endless options to change its behaviour by modifying its LotusScript code.


However AFAIK the OOO service is more like a black box. The only options/settings you have are those exposed in the GUI.

It would be nice if the service would load and run code somewhere from the mail template, so you could write your own logic e.g. for deciding when to send a notification and when not.


This keeps us from migrating to the service because - among others - we have implemented code to stop OOO from sending notifications for e-mails sent to group addresses (a feature that was included in Notes but was removed in version 8, see idea NTS-I-896).

    I checked what changes we did to the OOO agent and they are just two:


    1. As I already mentioned: Preventing OOO notification to be sent for e-mails sent to groups. This was done in three places:

    1.1 Declaration of neccessary variables as class fields.

    1.2 Initialization of these variables/fields (Function "New")

    1.3 Determining whether to send or not (Function "DocumentOK")

    (By populating an array with the internet addresses of all groups in the directory. This may not be very perfomant but there are only a few groups. And by comparing if the field "SendTo" of the document contains one of these addresses. If so, exit the function so it retuns "false".)


    2. Because of some oddities in our mail setup we had to change which address the agent sends the notifications to:

    Function "GetAddressFromMessage":

    [...]

    'Me.m_strFrom = Message.GetItemValue( "SMTPOriginator" )(0)

    Me.m_strFrom = Message.GetItemValue( "From" )(0)

    [...]
