hi there...
you have to set a "remote catchall" to your "local" email-address. e.g. remote catchall: [EMAIL PROTECTED] then emails are send via qmail to your catchall-account instead of beeing saved in your catchall account's directory directly by vpopmail. look in your .qmail-default file in your domain directory. here you can see that vpopmail saves emails send to a catchall account directly in the Maildir structure. so ".qmail"-files in the catchall directory are not prosessed. when vpopmail sends emails to a remote catchall qmail delivers the emails and processes ".qmail"-files (from where vacation messages are controlled). i hope my english is not to confusing ;-))) take care! thorsten ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew van Tilburg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 9:32 AM Subject: [qmailadmin] Autoresponder and catch all account. > > Autorespond will send a vacation message to the sender address of email > received by the catchall account, but only if the email is addressed to the > actual catchall account.
