Redhat 7.2, qmail, qmail-ldap, virtual users, sqwebmail, maildrop, courier-imap installed.

Wanted to create a vacation rule through a Web front end. Decided to use Maildrop+ Sqwebmail combination.

have 2 users /home/vmail/user1/Maildir and /home/vmail/user2/Maildir

user2 ldap entry is all follows: init_ldap: passwords are not compared via rebind localdelivery: on clustering: off ldapobjectclass: homedirmaker: /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker defaultDotMode: both defaultQuota: QuotaWarning:

# created maildirfilterconfig in all the users Maildir since I have virtual users gave absolute paths MAILDIRFILTER=/home/vmail/user2/.mailfilter MAILDIR=/home/vmail/user2/Maildir

user2 is on vacation from 7th May to 10th May. He creates a rule using sqwebmail edit mailfilters option saying that if addressed to use...@company.com then reply with vacation type message.

the .mailfilter of user2 is as follows: -------------.mailfilter--------------- #MFMAILDROP=2 # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. This is an automatically generated filter. logfile "maildrop.txt" FROM='use...@company.com' import SENDER if ($SENDER eq "") { SENDER=$FROM } ##Op:hasrecipient ##Header: ##Value:use...@company.com ##Folder:+vacation ##From: ##PlainString ##DoesNot ##Name:vacation

if ((hasaddr("use...@company.com"))) { AUTOREPLYFROM=$FROM `/usr/local/bin/mailbot -A "X-Sender: $FROM" -A "From: $AUTOREPLYFROM" -m
"/home/vmail/user2/Maildir/autoresponses/vacation" $SENDMAIL -t -f ""` }

to "/home/vmail/user2/Maildir/."

----.mailfilter end-----

When user2 is receiving message he receives 2 copies of the message and user1 who has sent him the message does not get a vacation reply.

created a maildrop.txt log ----maildrop.txt----- Date: Thu May 8 18:30:37 2003 From: "'User 1 of Company'" Subj: testing maildrop after log added to mailfilter File: /home/vmail/user2/Maildir/. (605) ---end----- The response is stored in the autoresponse/vacation file. owner of the file is
vmail:vmail. The actual file is not being sent... It stops at Maildir/. and then
shows (605)..this number keeps on increasing....

Why is the vacation response not going and the recepient is getting 2 copies of
the mail instead? Thanks for all the help from the mailing lists experts..
