You're right about it not making sense. Find out what they want to do,
as they probably don't need to do this.
What I've done with my vacation program is to put the qmail-reply line
in their .qmail file after the spam filtering line (I believe you can
have auto-reply enabled just through LDAP, that's why I am mentioning
this). So in my case if they wanted to email themselves and not cause a
bounce they could just email
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and then have
$ cat .qmail-noautoreply
./Maildir/
Or you could use the iftoccfrom and condtomaildir from qtools:
http://www.superscript.com/qtools/intro.html
and have something like
$ cat .qmail
| condtomaildir ./Maildir/ iftoccfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| qmail-reply ./Maildir/
./Maildir/
