Given that users are unable to run a command-line program like "vacation" nowadays a web based interface such as vacation-web is what Piers probably needs. Whether vacation-web works as is desired is the issue. For my clients the number of vacation requests has been small enough that it's easier to just have them email or SMS me when they want it set up. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Bloghttp://doc.coker.com.au/ ___ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main

Where/how it keeps the correspondents list may have changed over the decades, perhaps. Back in the day, vacation would create .forward, and run vi vacation.msg What more could one want?

In the past I've done it manually with .forward files and I don't think I've ever done it on a server backed with MySQL in that manner. Generally the things I blog about are a subset of things that I need to do myself or that people have paid me to do. So far no-one who pays me has wanted enough vacation accounts to make it worth automating. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Bloghttp://doc.coker.com.au/ ___ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
Re: Postfix + Dovecot (+MySQL)
https://etbe.coker.com.au/2015/10/17/mail-server-training/ Looks like a good resource. The one I worked from had MySQL backed accounts and postadmin set up (+ a bunch of anti spam / anti virus stuff) It looks like you have missed out a SASL authentication mechanism. I recommend using Dovecot as it's MUCH easier than getting Postfix to use MySQL directly. But following the above blog post is the easiest thing to do. I read my own blog posts when I have to do these things. ;) This: 1. Edit*/etc/postfix/master.cf*, uncomment the line for the*submission*service, and restart Postfix. This makes Postfix listen on port 587 which is allowed through most firewalls. It looks like that all along I had not set up 587 on the VM. Thank you for helping me circle back to the obvious! The only thing left to do is set up vacation emails - any suggestions? Preferably with a way for users to manage them themselves (bearing in mind the Dovecot / SASL / MySQL thingo) Cheers Piers ___ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main

Postfix + Dovecot (+MySQL)
Hi there, I set up a VM a couple of weeks back as a mail server.
