Feature Request: add mail header to prevent auto replies like out of office

[gojufhv]

Summary

Sentry sends emails with the sender address configured in config.yml - mail.from. This mailbox receives all auto reply mails like out of office notifications, which are not very useful in this context.

Can you add some mail headers to prevent auto replies on mail notifications?

As far as i know there are basically three different headers which most auto reply filters look for:
X-Auto-Response-Suppress: All
Precedence: Bulk
Auto-Submitted: auto-generated

Motivation

This feature would reduce unwanted mails in the mailbox defined by mail.from.

@BYK I want to work on this. Can you please point me to appropriate place in the source code.

Hi @immohsin sorry for the late response.

I think you need to add extra_headers to

sentry/src/sentry/utils/email.py

Line 455 in e5e2f72

connection=get_connection(fail_silently=fail_silently),

There's also an example here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/email/

@BYK, I want to work on this issue. I saw that the PR is not merged because of lack of test cases. So should I pick this up or is this already fixed?

[BYK]

Hi @Kaushal28, I no longer oversee the efforts here so you may have better luck pinging @chadwhitacre (which I did here now 😅).

That said I think using the old patch and adding tests would be a good start. Also pinging @dashed who reviewed the old PR back in the time in case he has more to add.

Thanks for fielding this @BYK. :)

@Kaushal28 #29029 seems like a good place to start, yes. Good luck! :)
