In our ongoing efforts to enhance the reliability and standards compliance of our automated email alerts, this task serves as a central hub to coordinate, track, and document the progress across multiple related tasks. The primary focus is to ensure all automated emails adhere to RFC 3834 by including the 'Auto-Submitted: auto-generated' header.
This initiative is in response to observed issues with automated responses, notably the Gmail vacation responder's unnecessary replies to automated emails, indicating a broader need for compliance and improvement.
## Objectives:
1. **Centralize Efforts:** Aggregate all tasks related to the enhancement of automated email alerts.
2. **Compliance with RFC 3834:** Ensure all automated emails include the 'Auto-Submitted: auto-generated' header to avoid unnecessary auto-replies, especially from email services like Gmail's vacation responder.
3. **Documentation and Tracking:** Maintain a comprehensive list of automated emails and their compliance status with RFC 3834.
