Hi there,
When you mentioned :
it seems he gets a virtual_map that splits [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried to do that in virtual_alias_map but the result is that just
the
first gets delivered (that in my case was the autoresponder)
This address expansion is 'based' on your 'alias' table, when the user 'set'
the auto-response a wrong address is added to that table.
It means than the postfixadmin script when the user click on 'active my out
of office'. the insertion is wrongly done
(/usr/share/../plugins/posftixadmin/..)
