Looks like that if using qmailadmin with autorespond 2.0.4, if and email that received too many messages with vacation / autoresponder on , is losing mail due to wrong exit level? (99 - stop processing .qmail file)
Can you confirm this? I noticed that today.
Steve Fulton patched vdelivermail.c to get around this problem. Fixing autorespond is probably a better solution.
I can't recall whether this problem is at all related to the larger problem of trying to use a single program to act both as an autoresponder and as a vacation program.
I'll hold the patch and try to put it into the version of autorespond in the QmailAdmin SourceForge project. I'm cc'ing this to the vpopmail list to see if anyone would like to comment.
