Autorespond Problem

Hello,

I've been trying to get our postfix/MySQL system to automatically 
respond to emails when sent certain individules.  Most of the people at 
my company are set up as virtual users on the server, not a local 
user... so I can't use a .mailfilter or .forward file.  So, I've just be 
creating different sections in the maildroprc file.  Here is the script 
that I've come up with so far to handle this task (obviously it's not 
working)

if (/^Delivered-To: test <at> address.com <mailto:test <at> address.com>/ && /^To: *.*test <at> address.com.*/)
{
  cc "| mailbot -t $HOME/autoresponse \
         -d $HOME/autoresponsedb -A 'From: test <at> address.com <mailto:test <at> address.com>' \
         -s 'AUTO RESPONSE - Out of the office.' -D 1 \
         /usr/local/sbin/sendmail -f ''"
}

I've also added

cc "!myemail <at> address.com"

inside the above IF statement, so I know that that section of code is firing correctly.  I've also made sure
all the paths and permissions are set appropriately.  I'm pretty much stuck at this point and any help would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray

Why not?  I have the same setup and have a series of "home" directories 
for my virtual users that contain not much more than mail filter files. 
  They are *not* the same as local user /home/... directories, mind you.

Re: Autorespond Problem

Well, I do have the "home" directory setup that you are talking about 
with just a Maildir folder that is not in the /home slice.  That part is 
working just fine though.  The problem I'm having is more with the 
autoreponder not being sent.  Even if I can use a .mailfilter or 
.forward file in their "home" directory, that still wouldn't fix my poor 
script ;)

Thanks,
Ray

deleting mail with specifig attachments

instead of running a virus scanner on every mail how can I delete every 
mail with specific attatchments (.zip with password,.exe,.vbs and so on) 
within maildir before invoking my antivirus software?

IMHO you should be doing this at MTA level before the mail is ever
accepted, not LDA level after the mail is accepted. I do it with Postfix
2.1 without any third-party software.

Oh yes I agree but since we want the users to be able to costumize their 
protection in diffrent levels having it in the MTA level simply isn't 
possible with our setup
