I try to use your script on FreeBSD – first I had to change the path to “bash” (/usr/local/bin/bash on FreeBSD) and modify “chmod” so that it looks like chmod autoresponse:autoresponse … (colon not dot on FreeBSD).

Now if I want to add a new responder, I get the following error after exiting “vi”:

sed: 1: “/var/spool/autoresponse …”: bad flag in substitute command: ‘o’

Any idea? Maybe “sed” has another syntax on FreeBSD?

Great Script, but i can’t do this work.

If i send an email to user+autoresponse@mydomain.com, i receive this error message in my email client:
“Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table”.

I try to add manually in linux terminal.
autoresponse -e user@mydomain.com
I checked /var/spool/autoresponse/responses and the file is here! ok. But… if a try to send a message to this account, the autoresponse don’t work and the message delivery normal…

Ensure that you have the following line in main.cf:

recipient_delimiter = +

Otherwise, trying to set up an autoresponse using foo+autoresponse@domain.tld fails.

Hi,
Thanks Jonas for sharing your approach. I’ve been using it for a while now and I think I ran into a little issue. I’ve been using the original_recipient as musashi describes in a situation where virtual_alias_maps maps one address to multiple real mailboxes (crew@example.com goes to all 5 crew members). When running a crew@ mail through autoresponse it is delivered to each crew members mailbox 5 times. This is because the autoresponse receives the message 5x and re-sends the mail to the original recipient which then gets forwarded again to 5 different boxes.
@musashi
Would it be an idea to use both “recipient” and “original recipient” inside the script in order to determine how to treat the request? The checked mail could then be sent to the recipient while you use original recipient for the autoresponse actions.

Hi guys
how it is with the other charset, like iso-8859-2 ?
When I type the answer with national characters of this encoding, the response is in different charset.
problem is that in the autoresponse file it is already misinterpreted
do you have anн idea
thank you
