- Author: Inter7
- Latest version: 2.0.5
Used for vacation messages. Required by qmailadmin
.
The patch that we are going to apply will solve a compilation break on Gentoo.
cd /usr/local/src wget https://notes.sagredo.eu/files/qmail/tar/autorespond-2.0.5.tar.gz wget https://notes.sagredo.eu/files/qmail/patches/autorespond-2.0.5.patch tar xzf autorespond-2.0.5.tar.gz cd autorespond-2.0.5 chown -R root:root . patch < ../autorespond-2.0.5.patch
If you want to install in /usr/local you have to modify Makefile:
PREFIX=/usr/local
Compile and install:
make make install
Bruce Guenter has written qmail-autoresponder
here, with the following features, that you may want to consider:
- Limits rate of automatic responses (defaults to a maximum of one message every hour).
- Will not respond to nearly every type of mailing list or bulk email.
- Will not respond to bounce messages or MAILER-DAEMON.
- Bounces looping messages.
- Can insert the original subject into the response.
- Can copy original message into response.
- Can use links in the rate-limiting data directory to limit inode usage to a single inode.
- Can limit responses to a certain date/time range.

Autorespond fails to compile

Hi everyone, I get the following compile error on a recent gentoo installation. Anyone has a patch for this?
I found a bug report but no solution yet.
Thanks

Any Vacation module to replace Autorepsond

Hi Mr Roberto,
so far the autorespond no longer working in vpopmail, any solution for replacement which users can create themselves in Roundcube webmail?
thank you

Actually you can do it by means of a sieve rule (RC managesieve plugin). Remember to configure dovecot-lda as your delivery agent, otherwise it won't work.

I set up an autoresponse for an email account. .qmail is created, so are the folder vacation and message. But it just would not autoreply. I am not seeing any logs related. Is it because of sieve

I amended
and
It is working now. So whenever i create a new domain, i have to include
|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER
in the.qmail-default
file?Reply | Permalink

So there is no way to have sieve and autoresponder to work together?

https://plugins.roundcube.net/packages/gabtoth/vacation take a look to this RC plugin which can work as an autoresponder writing a sieve rule for you

This plugin does not work. But the roundcube managesieve plugin works perfectly. With the latest version of roundcube 1.4.1, auto reply and email forwarding works side by side.
Thanks Roberto for the heads up with roundcube plugin

No. And I think that this shouldn't be considered a problem. Why let users use qmailadmin if they already have what they need with sieve via webmail?

Hello Roberto,
I set up qmailadmin with the latest patch, everything working but:
- in the adminitration panel I can see "Messaggi inviati ad indirizzi non esistenti : raccolti dalla casella pred. user@$USER"
- if I set-up the catch-all account, qmail rewrites the .qmail-default file of the domain as | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' catchall@domain.com
So I have to manually re-edit the .qmail-default file.
Is there a way to tell qmail to use the vdeliver standard .qmail-file (/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER) ?
Thank you as always for your great support !

Unfortunately there is no way to customize the line written by qmailadmin in the .qmail-default file (/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER), but patching would be needed. Anyway you can't have both .qmail files logic and dovecot-lda + sieve.
One have to choose between dovecot-lda/sieve and vdelivermail/.qmail files. In the first case users' .qmail files are ignored and setting the catchall and autoresponder is useless, in the second case you can't have sieve rules working
