Topic: Email Vacation Mode

[Jim OBrien]

Has anyone been successful adding autoreply (vacation) to an e-smith server.  We have a few customers who feel this is absolute absolute necessity and can't live without it.  We are running sendmail on RH 6.2 machines right now and all of the info I can find on adding vacation to sendmail seems pretty scary.  I would prefer using e-smith in general because it's so easy to administrate, and feel I could get move my boss from RH mailserver firewalls if I could give him this feature.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have two customers waiting to deploy e-smith till this is a feature. So I keep watching for something that will do this easily.

If you find something let me know.

Has this been answered?

I have just put a vacation program qmail-vacation-1.3 on my e-smith box. All it requires is a line in .qmail which sends the message to a perl script which then sends a text file to the sender.

eg: .qmail contains
./Maildir/
| /usr/bin/vacation

I have only added this manually but it would seem to be easy to add a web interface to it.
