RE: [webmin-l] Vacation reply issues

[<dav...@da...>]

There all setup as in virtualusertable

If I remember my mail setup correctly, that just pushes the e-mail to the
user's regular e-mail location so should use the .forward file still.

How is this alias set up exactly? If it is set to \fflintstone in the
/etc/aliases
file (called Mailbox of User fflintstone in Webmin), then this will bypass
any 
.forward file that is used for an auto-responder..

However, an alias to ffl...@my... should work OK.
