Hello,
i'm trying to set up a Vacation Mail Responder using postfix and special
transport + PERL script.
i want to let users choose between :
case 1 : automatic vacation responding and not delivrering the original
message (message is lost)
case 2 : automatic vacation responding and delivrering original message
in their mailbox
note : i'm using a MySQL lookup for storing users vacation parameters
but i have got the same problem with standard db lookup
My configuration
transport :
autoreply.domain.tld: autoreply
master.cf :
autoreply unix - n n - - pipe
flags=Oqu user=nobody argv=/usr/local/bin/vacation.pl $sender $recipient
main.cf :
virtual_alias_maps =
hash:/etc/postfix/vir_vacation,
...
...
...
in vir_vacation i can have
case 1 :
u...@domain.tld u...@autoreply.domain.tld
case 2:
u...@domain.tld u...@autoreply.domain.tld,u...@domain.tld
in case 1, all is fine, original sender receives the automatic mail
but in case 2, PERL script is called twice (but the message is well
delivered in user's mailbox) and so there is 2 automatic mail sent to
original sender
how can avoid this "recursive" lookup in the table and sending automatic
vacation message twice ?
Note : I found a solution for case 2 using another transport to deliver
the original mail and sending a vacation mail :
transport :
autoreply.domain.tld: autoreply
deli...@domain.tld: relay:[imapserver.domain.tld]
case 2:
u...@domain.tld u...@autoreply.domain.tld,u...@deliver.domain.tld
on the imap server i have a canonical regexp to rewrite
u...@deliver.domain.tld --> u...@domain.tld
/^(.*)@deliver.domain.tld/ $...@domain.tld
but if i could avoid this ("heavy" ?) solution....
