Hi,
We have a client that expects that customer facing error messages are
in the mother tongue of its customers. smtpd_reject_footer and
smtpd_reject_footer_maps don't fully make the job because these
parameters add a footer and don't replace the original text (yes, like
the name of the parameters can suggest !).
Like the special '\c' first character that has a special behavior in
the template, we have added a special '\r' first character that has the
special behavior to replace the original reply text by the template
text.
Below is the patch for this feature (against 3.4.7, I can provide a
patch for latest 3.5 snapshot if you prefer), I hope it will be useful
for someone else.
