Ok, so I'm trying to get this auto-reply thing going. So far no good, or at least that I can tell. The server is setup to have transport and virtual all on MySQL, and have added the values needed as best I can.

In my transport, I added a new domain autoreply.domain.com, and set to autoreply: . In my virtual, I set the address to go to the user@domain.com@autoreply.domain.com (and vice versa for testing). I made a /usr/local/bin/autoreply script set 755, that all it does is run a mail command:

mail -s "Out of the Office" -a"From: <$2>" $1 < /etc/postfix/autoreply.txt

In my /etc/postfix/master.cf I added:

autoreply unix - n n - - pipe
flags= argv=/usr/local/bin/autoreply $sender $recipient

and have then restarted. if I have the original address send to autoreply, nothing goes through. If I reverse it, having the autoreply addy forward to original, then I get mail. Here's the biggest issue, it doesn't reply either way. The script runs fine, it's executable, but have to add the $1 and $2 entries. Either way, the script seems to be fine....I think. Any clues? TIA

If you're just after 'Out of Office' replies then read the vacation manpage.
It might be an easier solution to what you're trying to do.

Thanks Optyk. I'm trying it now. Just trying to get it to work with virtual users (hope that works).

As long as the users have homedirs (even in mysql) you can use the built in vaction response by just creating the appropriate .forward there.

Also check out postfixadmin (http://high5.net/postfixadmin/). Looks like they can do vacation for virtual users/domains. If they can, then you can. ;)
