see a list of the distribution lists and the recipients when you

GroupWise
Auto Replies
To protect
against the chance of creating infinite email loops in GroupWise,
Novell integrated reply logging into the system. As a
result, auto reply messages will only be sent once to each
unique email address. The log of email addresses that have
received the reply gets reset every time you turn the auto reply
rule off and back
on. Allowing you to use the same vacation rule for
different vacations as long as it has been turned off and back on.
GroupWise SPAM and Virus Filtering
All incoming
email on the GroupWise system is scanned for SPAM and viruses.
No messages are discarded by the system. They're just modified before they are delivered to your
mailbox. Read further for details on how SPAM and
infected emails are handled.
Virus Handling
In the event that an inbound message contains an
attachment with a virus; the infected attachment is removed
from the email and quarantined by the filtering system. A text
file named "defanged.txt" is attached to you
email message and delivered to your mailbox. The
"defanged.txt" contains an explanation of the
file that was removed, it's location, and name within the
quarantine. That way in the event of a false positive on a
file it can be retrieved from the quarantine by the the Systems
department.
SPAM Handling
Incoming messages that are identified as SPAM will
simply have the text [=SPAM=] appended to the start of the
subject line before it is delivered to your mailbox. That way
a simple rule can be created to look for [=SPAM=] at the
start of the subject line and move the message based on that.

It is recommended that you check the folder that SPAM messages are
being sent to on a daily basis to make sure that your rule is not
moving legitimate email messages.
