Hi, Eric,

Thanks for replying me via PM. I had brought our conversation to the ML.

I am referred by Cecil regarding an issue with autoreply running on
Webmin/Virtualmin and qmail.

Everytime, the user receive an email, there will be an error in the log.

@400000004d11c7482ee08e94 delivery 7243: deferral:

sh:_-c:_line_0:_unexpected_EOF_while_looking_for_matching_`"'/sh:_-c:
_line_1

:_syntax_error:_unexpected_end_of_file/

At times, the user will get many duplicate emails.

Is there a solution or work around?

I suspect there might be a problem with the user's .qmail file, which
specifies delivery.


The .qmail is like this


./Maildir/
|/etc/webmin/virtual-server/autoreply.pl
|/home/www/miltrade.com.sg/autoreply-eric.txt eric
|/var/virtualmin-autoreply/12762307171957-autoreply-eric.txt


With QMT, the .qmail file with a vacation message looks like this:
/home/vpopmail/domains/shubes.net/chuck/Maildir/
| /usr/bin/autorespond 86400 3 /home/vpopmail/domains/shubes.net/chuck/vacation/message /home/vpopmail/domains/shubes.net/chuck/vacation

While a shupp toaster is similar to QMT in many ways, it looks as though your shupp toaster does things substantially differently in this area. It also appears that webmin is coming into play, which I suspect is where your problem lies, likely in the autoreply.pl module. It would be very difficult for anyone here to help you fix this.

In the short term, you might look for a syntax error in your autoreply.pl script. I'm not positive that's where the error is, but it's a good starting point.

In the long term, I recommend planning to migrate your server to QMT. This would not be very difficult, given that mail on a shupp toaster is stored in much the same way. You'll have much better reliability and support in the future by doing so.

By narrowing it down you can now present thnis to Jamie on the Webmin list and he should be able to help locate the error in the autoreply.pl
