This is a followup.

My .mailfilter file looks like: import HOME

if (/^X-DSPAM-Result: Spam/) { to ".Spam/" }

cc "| /usr/local/bin/mailbot -s 'Out-Of-Office Reply' -A 'From: sodo@hanoveruniform.com' -m '/usr/local/virtual/hanoveruniform.com/sodoherty/message.txt' /usr/sbin/sendmail -f '' kjoh@fixertec.net"

I have found that, with the above rule, when email is sent to this user from a non-local domain, the autoreply does work - it sends to the message to kjoh@fixertec.net. There are a few questions: 1: I'd like the mail to go to the sender, not to a static address (kjoh@fixertec.net) - how can I do this? 2: The original email does not end up in the users inbox. How can I do this? 3: Why does #2 happen?

Don't know why it doesn't go to the inbox. If all you have is a CC, the normal delivery should still happen unless the mailbot program is throwing an error (and in that case, the messages should stay in the queue).

I use this for my vacation messages:

------------------------------------------------------ import RECIPIENT if (! (/^X-Spam-Flag: YES/ || /^List-id:/) ) { `/usr/lib/courier/bin/mailbot -A "From: $RECIPIENT" -d "./autoreplydb" -m "./autoreply" /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail -f "$RECIPIENT"` }

------------------------------------------------------

Note that the mailbot command is one long line.

This will send one reply per day per recipient. It only sends replies to messages that do not look like mailing lists and are not marked as spam.

I've just tried your example: `/usr/local/bin/mailbot -A "From: sodo@hanoveruniform.com" -t "./message.txt" /usr/sbin/sendmail -f "$RECIPIENT"` and it doesn't work. In your example, how does mailbot know who to send the email to - shouldn't it be going to $SENDER? (How can I import that, with import SENDER ?)

You don't need to specify the reply address. Mailbot automatically gets it from the original message.

From the man page:

By default mailbot takes the autoresponse address from the From: (or the Reply-To:) header in the original message.

If you want to use SENDER, I think it is imported automatically. If not, you can get it with "import SENDER".

I don't know why it's not working for you. It works fine for me.

The man page shows it being used as a CC. I'm not sure where I got my script. I set it up as a TO on a test account and it works fine that way too.

Send a message to test@buc.com.

The .mailfilter for this account looks like this:

import RECIPIENT to "| /usr/lib/courier/bin/mailbot -A \"From: $RECIPIENT\" -m \"./autoreply\" /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail -f \"$RECIPIENT\""

Actually, the "import RECIPIENT" part is in /etc/courier/maildroprc, but it shouldn't matter.

I'll leave this account around for a day or two unless it starts getting hammered.
