Hi All,

I want to use maildrop to trigger vacation messages using the Inter7 Autoresponder (http://inter7.com/devel/).

My setup is as follows: * I run qmail/vpopmail with mysql support * I setup an alias for the adress containing | preline maildrop ~vpopmail/etc/mailfilter.vacation

The mailfilter.vactaion looks like:

VHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`

if (!/^X-Spam-Status: *YES/) { exception { cc "|/usr/local/bin/autorespond 60 10 $VHOME/vacation/message $VHOME/vacation 0" } } to $VHOME/.maildir

As soon as the autoresponder works "normally", everything is ok, but in case the autoresponder either writes to stderr or exits with a non-zero exitcode: * I get an eror in the qmail logs, saying "deferral: maildrop:_error_writing_to_mailbox./" * The "to" is executed and the mail shows up in the mailbox * BUT: the mail remains in the queue * Result: the mail is delivered to the mailbox more than once

I tried to turn on debuggin with "VERBOSE=9" and get: /var/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter.vacation(8) <-- Line with "exception" Trapping_exceptions./maildrop:_Delivering_to_|/usr/local/bin/autorespond_60_10_/var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/vacation/message_/var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/vacation_0/maildrop:_error_writing_to_mailbox.//var/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter.vacation(8):_Trapped_exception./maildrop:_Delivery_complete./

What I expcet is, that the exception is caught and the mail is deleted from the queue. Any way to accomplish this eg by setting the exitcode manuallyor the like?

TIA
