There is a new version of autorespond on GITHUB - version 2.06 - patched
April 2016 that fixes the MessageID.
The original code in existence since 2001 creates the MessageID as follows:
fprintf(fdm,"Date: %u %s %u %02u:%02u:%02u -0000\nMessage-ID:
<%lu.%u.blah>\n"
,dt->tm_mday,montab[dt->tm_mon],dt->tm_year+1900,dt->tm_hour,dt->tm_min,dt->tm_sec,msgwhen,getpid()
);
with the word 'blah'.
The correction is:
fprintf(fdm,"Date: %u %s %u %02u:%02u:%02u -0000\nMessage-ID:
<%lu.%u.autorespond@%s>\n
,dt->tm_mday,montab[dt->tm_mon],dt->tm_year+1900,dt->tm_hour,dt->tm_min,dt->tm_sec,msgwhen,getpid(),getenv("LOCAL")
using LOCAL which is the domain name followed by the user name.
You can just download the code, unzip it, run 'make' followed by 'make
install' and your autoresponder is fixed.

I have been testing the vacation message function on the moduser page
in qmailadmin. The autoresponses generated by the vacation message
option end up in my spam folders because the Message ID generated by
the autoresponder do not include a domain name and, as a result,
violate RFC 2822.
These two issues give the message 4.3 points for spamassassin and the
message ends up as junk.
Here's the MessageID generated by the vacation responder:
Message-ID: <1516217515.27282.blah>
I don't have a clue where 'blah' comes from. All we need is a domain
name to put in there - doesn't even need to be valid.
Does anyone know how to change 'blah' to something else?
