Hello, when asked to implement a vacation autoresponder (no comments please, and it's for one user only, for a short period, and he does not receive spam anymore) I have used the recipe that has been discussed here some time ago (and corrected some small mistakes), whose author I forget. I have problems though making this work for aliases. In other words, aliases do not trigger the autoresponder even though the filter is run (checked with /exim -d+all -N -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

The router and transport are:

# vacation message
uservacation:
  driver = redirect
  allow_filter
  hide_child_in_errmsg
  ignore_eacces
  ignore_enotdir
  reply_transport = vacation_reply
  no_verify
  check_local_user
  check_owner = false
  user = smmsp
  group = mail
  require_files = $home/vacation/.vacation.txt
  file = /usr/exim/confs/filters/_vacation
  unseen

vacation_reply:
  driver = autoreply


the filter:

# Exim filter
if ($h_subject: does not contain "SPAM?" and personal) then
mail
expand file $home/.vacation/vacation.txt
once $home/.vacation/vacation.db
log $home/.vacation/vacation.log
once_repeat 7d
to $reply_address
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
subject "Autoreply: [Re: $h_subject:]"
endif



The debug output for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

20:49:41 27172 ---0 Rst 0x18104f8    **       filter.c 2392 49200
20:49:41 27172 Sub-condition is false: personal
20:49:41 27172 Condition is false: $h_subject: does not contain SPAM? and personal
20:49:41 27172 Filtering did not set up a significant delivery.
20:49:41 27172 Normal delivery will occur.
20:49:41 27172 Filter: end of processing
20:49:41 27171 rda_interpret: subprocess yield=1 error=NULL
20:49:41 27171 uservacation router declined for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

that does not differ from [EMAIL PROTECTED] result:

20:51:03 27186 ---0 Rst 0x1810190    **       filter.c 2392 49200
20:51:03 27186 Sub-condition is false: personal
20:51:03 27186 Condition is false: $h_subject: does not contain SPAM? and personal
20:51:03 27186 Filtering did not set up a significant delivery.
20:51:03 27186 Normal delivery will occur.
20:51:03 27186 Filter: end of processing
20:51:03 27185 rda_interpret: subprocess yield=1 error=NULL
20:51:03 27185 uservacation router declined for [EMAIL PROTECTED]


why would the filter fail for the alias? Is it perhaps because $local_part is not a local user in the case of the alias? Or perhaps $home is not set in the filter?

Ideas? Thanks!

Giuliano
