[vchkpw] autorespond with a [dot] in the email address
Hi I'm using autorespond (the debian package version) and vpopmail (custom deb) and it's set up and working but only partially. For address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the .qmail file .qmail-foo the autorespond works, however for [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the .qmail file .qmail-foo.bar it won't, simple as that. If I rename to .qmail-foo and set up a valias for foo to foo.bar it works. The problem is that the foo.bar address is the one that everyone will be using. I did think about deleting foo.bar reinstating the account to foo and setting up a valias foo.bar but this seems heavy handed and will require quite a bit of work to migrate a lot of users. Is this easy to fix? have I missed something obvious? thanks Darren Beale

You should be using .qmail-user:name man dot-qmail -Original Message- From: Darren Beale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 21 February 2004 8:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] autorespond with a [dot] in the email address Hi I'm using autorespond (the debian package version) and vpopmail (custom deb) and it's set up and working but only partially.

Quoting Darren Beale [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi I'm using autorespond (the debian package version) and vpopmail (custom deb) and it's set up and working but only partially.

If I rename to .qmail-foo and set up a valias for foo to foo.bar it works. Use .qmail-foo:bar instead of .qmail-foo.bar It's in FAQ:) Ilic Aleksandar
