Thanks for the reply.
I was able to get all three scripts working on the latest qmailtoaster.
They each use a dbm file to rate-limit/avoid-looping.
The perl was 20 years old, so I had to change some regex stuff. They all used 
$* = 1 to allow multi-line matching.
I changed the regex and all 3 a working. I'm happy to share them if anyone 
wants them.

Autoresponder looks for a string in the subject and if it matches, sends a 
stored message (no attachments though)
Notify simply sends a message to another email address that you just got a 
message.
Vacation is a simple vacation message.

I provided a web page that allowed all of them them to be configured by the 
account owner. The web client writes the .qmail file and the needed support 
files.

Hello Steve,
I still use .qmail file :) on the latest build. Depending what you really want 
you may have to create the .qmail inside the user’s folder.

Hi,

I've been using qmail since sometime in 2001. Way back then, I built and 
adapted some scripts to provide rate-limited Vacation Messages, Auto Response 
and New Email notification (to an external email address). This was all driven 
by a .qmail file in the accounts Maildir. I can find very little information 
now on .qmail files. Is there any documentation, anywhere? Do they still 
function as they always have? I'm going to test to find out myself, but I 
thought I would just put the question out there.

Steve

PS: If it isn't obsolete/unsupported I would be happy to put the scripts out on 
github for others to use.
