I am using an autoreply router, based on a common recipe floating on the net:
uservacation: driver = redirect allow_filter domains = domain.com hide_child_in_errmsg debug_print = "R: autoreply for $user" reply_transport = vacation_reply no_verify require_files = /home/share/autoreply.txt file = /home/share/autoreply.txt user = Debian-exim group = Debian-exim unseen
vacation_reply: debug_print = "T: vacation reply for $local_part@domain" driver = autoreply file = /home/share/autoreply.txt file_expand from = $firstname.lastname@example.org to = $sender_address subject = "Re: $h_subject" text = "Automatic reply\n\n"
# Exim filter if ($h_subject: does not contain "SPAM?" and personal) then mail expand file /home/share/autoreply.txt.txt to $reply_address from $local_part\@$domain subject "Autoreply...[Re: $h_subject:]" endif
This works well for most users, however one user has an alias in /etc/aliases which is processed by a
system_aliases router before the autoreply.
If the email is sent to the alias, then the autoreply doesn't trigger. I cannot figure out why, as the router above doesn't seem to care whether the local_part matches a system username.
Any ideas? (By the way, I realise I am doubling up some of the elements there as I have tried different approaches).
