[gentoo-user] Gentoo Virtual Mailhost Setup Question.

[Mal Herring]

Hi Gentoo-User,
I am running the virtual mailhost as per the Gentoo set-up guide and
would like to know the best way of being able to configure auto-response
messages, for example, an Out of Office notification...

Anyone able to give me some pointers on this ?

If you're using qmail and have qmailadmin, you can use the "Vacation"
feature.

Sounds like a handy feature but I am using Postfix... :(

Does Postfix offer this functionality ?

	I hate to give the same sort of answer, but the Postfix based how-to 
was never very fancy. However I still believe Postfix is the easiest and 
best MTA to use for a virtual system. It's just that you should use 
PostfixAdmin as the base. Migrating from the Gentoo How-to to a 
PostfixAdmin based system can be painful, different db schema and other 
things, but having an easy to use interface to add users, domains, 
aliases, etc AND being able to delegate domain control to power users 
has been fantastic.

	PostfixAdmin supports vacation as well and users can manage it 
themselves. You can even integrate the vacation into Horde as well if 
you're willing to muck about in the internals.

However as a low tech solution you could do something like the following:

user@domain1.com is a real account

create this in your alias table
user@domain1.com -> user@domain1.com,vacation

Then setup a general vacation program as user vacation on the system 
with the proper regex stuff and tracking of addresses it's has already 
responded to.
