Re: [webmin-l] Usermin automatic reply not working

[Gilles C. <gil...@ec...>]

Well I think I found something...I added procmail to /etc/postfix/main.cf as "mailbox_command" 
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir

After that it worked: the Auto Reply in Usermin creates the file "autoreply.0.txt" in $HOME,
but inside this file the domainname of the host is not the TLD domain name, but instead "office.local"

From: "gilles" <gilles@mailsrv.office.local>

it should read:

From: "gilles" <gi...@ma...>
or
From: "gilles" <gi...@my...>

With <mailsrv.office.local> it bounces back and gets queued...

Can someone give me a clue which script to edit that generates the hostname with TLD for file "autoreply.0.txt" ?
I've edited the variable: $host (line 105) in /etc/usermin/forward/autoreply.pl but that doesn't seem to work...

Any clues ?

thanks

gilles
