Thank you for the ammunition I needed for arguing further. The easiest way would probably to set up a procmail solution for that task. It should be done after content_filter. - check if spamlevel is not high, otherwise don't send to vacation - rewrite subject If you need to do more you will have to write a simple filter script that handles the rewrites and lookups you need. -- Sandy List replies only please!
