I'm looking for an autoresponder, free, and one that does not rely on
postfixadmin.
I saw one featured in a howtoforge article called Autoresponse 1.6.3
but that has been taken down, which is unfortunate, because how it
worked, sending an email to an address sounded great for my needs.
If anyone has this, or has any suggestions i'd appreciate them. I have
looked on the postfix page and the autoresponders there are paid
products, and the one that isn't uses an LDAP format which I am not
using.
Although I dislike autoresponders it is part of the sieve filter for
dovecot:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples#Vacation_auto-reply
If you use dovecot already e.g. for IMAP, then you can switch local
delivery to dovecot and the vacation filter of dovecot-sieve can take over
the auto-response. As far as I have read the docs the auto-responder of
dovecot/sieve minimizes the negative effects of auto-responders (sending
single mail only, ignoring mailinglists and bulk email, ...).
Setup: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
Major benefit is the server side mail filtering in my eyes which was
the major motivation for me to install it :-)
Configuration of the sieve filter is done in user directory
(.dovecot.sieve), so mail users can individually configure the
autoresponder (when in vacation) without the admin.
