Here is an example of setting up an autoresponder and sending a copy
of the mail to another user. I created it via the qmailadmin interface.
[root@orbital test.com]# cat .qmail-joe
|/usr/local/bin/autorespond 10000 5
/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/JOE/message/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/JOE
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The file is actually two lines long, with the second line having
the email address. You can replace the email address with the full
path to a vpopmail users Maildir directory, like
/home/vpopmai/domains/test.com/kbo/Maildir/
If you install qmailadmin and the autoresponder from the
http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin/ page, you can create these files
for yourself to examine.
