The vacation module in Ingo has a hook for that.

Problem solved.

You have to type your email address into the "Alias addresses for this account (optional):" field for telling vacation to reply on alias addresses. Wonder if there is a way to tell the vacation horde script to automatically insert the email address from the default identity into that field.


Thx,

Hi.

I'm having problems with vacation when the message is addressed to an alias, for example : email.address@domain.tld. No vacation message is sent to the sender.

But, if the sender sends directly to the recipients username, for example: usrname@servername.domain.tld, then a vacation message is sent to the sender.

Extracts from the maillog for a message that is not replied by a vacation message:

Extracts from maillog for a message that is sent directly to the username on the server:
