We essentially need a way to tell autorespond that it's acting as a 
vacation responder, or an auto responder.

In the case of a vacation responder, default behavior should be to exit 
so that .qmail processing continues.  It shouldn't bounce mailing list 
messages, and it shouldn't ever exit(99).  The version of autorespond I 
have in QmailAdmin's CVS goes this route.

As an autoresponder, it can bounce mailing lists and bulk mail, and the 
exit code is less important (because it typically exists in a .qmail 
file alone).

If it's going to continue to be a part of the QmailAdmin project, I'll
add Brad as well.
Not sure if Inter7 is going to keep handling the dev. What is the 
story with
vpopmail and qmailadmin? Sourceforge is a great place. Use it almost 
daily.
Inter7 is still involved with qmailadmin and vpopmail development on 
SourceForge.  Ken Jones has also put vqadmin up there.  Email me with 
your SF id and I'll add you as a developer so you can make use of the 
autorespond CVS.

Unless I hear otherwise from Inter7, I'll keep autorespond in the 
qmailadmin project.

  at the time I didn't realize there was a sourceforge project for
  autorespond, I thought we were maintaining that package.  check
  http://qmailadmin.sf.net and post your patch/bug report there :)
 
  This is the first time I have heard of it being on sourceforge as
  well. Was
  anyone asked about this?

 That's me, overreaching my bounds again.

 Oden Eriksson had built a 2.0.4 release that included the security fix.
   The inter7.com site still had 2.0.2 up, and I wanted to make some
 changes to the exit codes so I could safely use it on a recent trip
 (hiking in the Grand Canyon).

 I jumped to the conclusion that Inter7 wasn't actively maintaining it
 and I decided to add it to the qmailadmin project on SourceForge.  I
 also put it in CVS there.  I altered it heavily to suit the needs of a
 vacation responder.

 While hiking, I had a lot of time to think, and came to many of the
 conclusions that Jeremy did on the vchkpw list while I was away.  That
 we essentially need two different programs -- one to act as an
 autoresponder for mail robots, and one to act as a vacation responder
 for POP/IMAP mailboxes.

Please give me more details on what you guys want added, etc. Since the two
functions are really the same it would be easiest just to add some extra
options to the code. And a sourceforge project is fine. Just was curious how
it got there. And whomever added the patch's can take over maintaining it

 It could easily be the same program with different command-line options.

 If Inter7 is maintaining it, I can drop it from the QmailAdmin project.
   Or, you could set it up on SF as it's own project.  Or, we can leave
 it there.  I don't really care.

 I would like to see someone else spend some time working on it so I can
 trust it with my email account.  Jeremy, I've added you to the
 QmailAdmin SF project so you can access the CVS repository.  If you
 want, you can start from the original upload (2.0.4) and ignore all of
 my changes, and submit your changes to the repository.

 If it's going to continue to be a part of the QmailAdmin project, I'll
 add Brad as well.
