Topic: Vacation message, noreply format

[brianr]

I have installed the vacation message contrib, and have been trying the "noreply" facility, as documented in the manual page for "vacation".

What I want to do is exclude internal emails getting the autoreply.

The man page says that the email in the ~.vacation.noreply file "does not have to be fully qualified".

I have tried "brianr@domain.com" which works to exclude the specific internal emails from getting a reply, as does "brianr" on its own. Also ".*" seems to match all emails, however when I try ".*@domain.com" it does not match.

Anyone know  the format of the entires, and whether i can make it match all internal emails?

I realise I could generate a list of internal usernames (and the pseudonyms), but a more general solution would be better.

I have searched here, and googled, with no success.

Just typing

Code: [Select]

@domain.com should do it.
