Re: Vacation for non-existant users?
Bummer! Thanks a lot to all who came up with suggestions -specially Ted Cabeen for the simple man relocate.

Vacation for non-existant users?
Hi, I got a few users whom I've removed, and now I'd like to set a auto-responder for the addresses. I'd like to do this so people emailing them get their new address. Any suggestions on how to set this using sieve? Cheers, Tarjei

Sieve would require the existence of the user's inbox, but you could just do this with vacation essentially. Of course, it probably makes more sense to set up the autoresponder as a part of the MTA, and keep cyrus out of it (if you don't want to keep the user accounts around). For example, you could have an LDAP entry for dead users that says this user is dead, his new address is x and the MTA could pick up on that and hand the message to a separate autoresponder. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper

Re: Vacation for non-existant users?
I would do this in the MTA. If you're using Sendmail, look at cf/README. There is an example of exactly what you want to do there -- I believe it can be implemented in either the access map or the virtusertable (or maybe both).

Sieve would require the existence of the user's inbox, but you could just do this with vacation essentially. If you really want to be nice, you could do a redirect to the new address AND send a vacation message telling the sender what you did. Hmm. I'll have to check the sieve specs to make _sure_ that redirect and vacation are compatible (I'm pretty sure they are).
