It depends on how spiffy your mail server system is. The general approach is to have a set of "virtual" home directories that essentially mirror your maildirs. If your server software supports it, then you can put filter and vacation files in those directories and away you go. It's quite nice once you figure it all out, but again, lots of "depends on your server software". ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
