Hi, I'm sorry to insist on this subject, but I'm still stuck on the matter of getting autoreplies made by sqwebmail back to work.
Still - I have found out some more on the subject: It looks like mailbot is not providing sendmail with a valid sender (-f). This applies both to using the courier-sendmail (/usr/local/bin/sendmail) as to the legacy built-in sendmail (/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail). In fact, reading the manual, it looks to me like it never happened before, yet it used to work... ------ The short version ------ Autoreply-rules created by sqwebmail look like this, for example: if (($SIZE > 1)) { AUTOREPLYFROM=$FROM `/usr/local/bin/mailbot -A "X-Sender: $FROM" -A "From: $AUTOREPLYFROM" -m "./Maildir/autoresponses/urlaub" $SENDMAIL -t -f ""` } this rule produces a "sendmail: Unable to submit message" line in /var/log/maillog and does not deliver the autoreply. If I change it manually, and add a $FROM within the quotes after -f, it works: if (($SIZE > 1)) { AUTOREPLYFROM=$FROM `/usr/local/bin/mailbot -A "X-Sender: $FROM" -A "From: $AUTOREPLYFROM" -m "./Maildir/autoresponses/urlaub" $SENDMAIL -t -f "$FROM"` } Do You have any hint on what's going wrong? Is this an sqwebmail problem, or a mailbot problem, or did I miss something that changed? I only found this in the ChangeLog, 2006-09-17 Mr. Sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * maildrop/main.C (run): -f ""? I really mean it. How is the sendmail binary supposed to know about the sender? I'm a bit confused here... Thank You a lot in advance for help... Regards, Lorenzo ------ The long version ------ Autoreplies which are set up with sqwebmail do not work. Instead, the mail log reports: sendmail: Unable to submit message.
