Vacation - Global Ignore List
« on: March 10, 2026, 02:00:40 AM »
Hi

This is a question about stopping replies from vacations to addresses like bounces@intuit

I'm thinking of a scenario where a user sets their vacation autoreply, then receives an email from, say, realestate.com, because they are on a mailing list, the bounce winds up in the mail queue for a few days.

The vacation man page says it won't reply if the sender is any of:
daemon, postmaster, mailer-daemon, mailer, root
                   
Question - Can this list be extended, i.e. Is there a global /var/qmail/control/vacation.ignore or similar, or do you have to patch/recompile vacation?
