Me again folks,
Okay I have Courier working, it accepts my mail, sends mail etc. Even
sorted out a mailing list so I am happy. Except for one thing. I maintain
Linux Vacation when I tried to use it today.
First time it failed so I read dot-courier and dot-forward. I had to
change the context of the .forward (I may add an option to the make file
to generate .courier files). But whilst vacation still answers, the mail
doesn't goto the Maildir ($HOME/Mail)
I followed the examples in dot-courier man file but still to no avail.
So maybe someone can hudge me in the right direction.
Vacation creates a .forward like:
\kazc, "|/usr/bin/vacation kazc"
which I edited to:
| /usr/bin/vacation kazc
Therein lies your omission. The original .forward delivered to the user
first with "\kazc" then piped the message to vacation with
"|/usr/bin/vacation kazc". Your edited .forward only does the latter and
never delivers to the user. You'd be much better off with explicitly using
.courier files written as:
./Maildir
|/<path_to>/preline /usr/bin/vacation kazc
deliver the mail first then send the delivery status notification.
the .courier was:
|| dotforward
./Mail[dir]
I tested with both ./Mail and ./Maildir
