[vchkpw] autorespond with a [dot] in the email address

2004-02-21 Thread Darren Beale 
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

try:

think so.. qmail-local translates dot to colon.

Try.qmail-foo:bar

See   man dot-qmail

Look for the WARNING: below the major heading  EXTENSION ADDRESSES.

You should be using .qmail-user:name

man dot-qmail

Use .qmail-foo:bar instead of .qmail-foo.bar

It's in FAQ:)
