# Discourage automatic responses to Synapse's emails.
# Per RFC 3834, automatic responses should not be sent if the "Auto-Submitted"
# header is present with any value other than "no". See
# https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3834.html#section-5.1

# which suggests it can take the value "All" to "suppress all auto-replies",
# or a comma separated list of auto-reply classes to suppress.
