Will compiling and installing autorespond cause any problems with my

Better be safe and ask than be sorry.
Autorespond is a separate program from vpopmail and qmailadmin.
Recompiling and reinstalling will have no effect on your existing
users. Future autoresponses will be sent with the new binary you
install, so you should test an autoresponder after installing the new
binary.
Great.
2. The changes to the ja language file didn't show up in the qmail
admin web pages.
Do I have to compile something to get the changes in the language
files to show up?
I don't think you'll see any change on the QmailAdmin pages. It looks
like the nkf program just changes from "euc-jp" charset to
"iso-2022-jp". If that charset is more common, it would make sense
for us to update the QmailAdmin distribution to use the updated ja file.
This is a tough call. Cell phones in Japan only work with iso-2022-jp
and Windows runs with iso-2022 as well.
About 50% of the linux/Unix run with EUC encoding which is what
qmail-admin ships with. 20% of linux/Unix
servers run iso-2022-jp and the rest (30%) run in UTF-8. My guess is
that UTF-8 is growing by about 5% a year
but iso-2022 will be with us for many years to come. Personally, I'd
like to see everything done in utf-8, but
then any mail sent to Japanese cell phones wouldn't be readable.
Switching the default to iso-2022-jp would make the responder work with
cell phones, but I have a feeling that EUC and Unicode guys would get
pretty irritated.
Any Japanese administrators have any input?
Cheers,
David
To confirm the change, you'd have to make a manual connection to your
web server and check the HTTP headers for the Content-Type header.
