Re: Cyrus vacation notice

[Andrew Nash <nashcom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that.  I edited the main.cf file at the end of last week when I noticed the error messages weren't available!

 

In main.cf I now have:

 

error_notice_recipient = root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

bounce_notice_recipient = $error_notice_recipient 

2bounce_notice_recipient = $error_notice_recipient

delay_notice_recipient = $error_notice_recipient

After making the above changes, I found the previously described notification in the root mailbox:

 

From MAILER-DAEMON  Mon Apr 19 10:58:33 2010

Return-Path: <>

Delivered-To: root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Received: by server.domain (Postfix, from userid 41)

            id 4C13E7E222; Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:58:33 +0100 (BST)

Subject: Absence notification

In-Reply-To: <20100419-10541090-2044@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Auto-Submitted: auto-replied (vacation)

 

This is an automated reply.

This person is temporarily out of the office

and has left the following note:

 

I am out of the office at a training course until Wednesday 28 April. I will respond to your email on my return. If you wish to speak to someone, please call reception on 999999.

 

I'm new to the inner workings of the mail server, so it's taking me a bit of time to trace messages through the system.  Is it possible to tell anything from the above - for example, if Cyrus is using the wrong field to deliver the out of office message?

 

Thanks again for your help.

 

David

Check out the Postfix configuration directives: "notify_classes",
"2bounce_notice_recipient", "bounce_notice_recipient",
"delay_notice_recipient", "double_bounce_sender", and
"error_notice_recipient".  Tuning these can make your life much simpler.
