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]).


damn, it is the personal condition in the filter. Obviously it does not find the current user address in any header, as the email is addressed to an alias. Shouldn't the personal condition compare the headers' content with the envelope recipient (that is the RCPT TO) that is with the $original_local_part (and the original domain, but how do we get that in a filter)?

If I try a partial solution with:

if personal alias "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

and log what I get in the filter I have for an email sent to testalias (alias of testuser):


 Exim filter
logfile /var/log/testfilter
logwrite "original $original_local_part" >>>  testalias
logwrite "local part $local_part"        >>>  testuser
then
if ($h_subject: does not contain "SPAM?") then
logwrite "testing [EMAIL PROTECTED]" >>> testing [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if personal alias "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then
logwrite "test success" >>> never gets here, test fails. Why?
mail
[...]

endif
endif


must I expand "personal" as in filter.txt:


The basic "personal" test is roughly equivalent to the following: | | not error_message and | $message_headers does not contain "\nList-" and | $header_auto-submitted: does not contain "auto-" and | $header_precedence: does not contain "bulk" and | $header_precedence: does not contain "list" and | $header_precedence: does not contain "junk" and | foranyaddress $header_to: | ( $thisaddress contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ) and | not foranyaddress $header_from: | ( | $thisaddress contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or | $thisaddress contains "server@" or | $thisaddress contains "daemon@" or | $thisaddress contains "root@" or | $thisaddress contains "listserv@" or | $thisaddress contains "majordomo@" or | $thisaddress contains "-request@" or | $thisaddress matches "[EMAIL PROTECTED] +@" | ) |


replacing  $local_part with $original_local_part?

Is this a bug or is it too late..?
