Sending emails when Auto Reply is enabled works now: the emails are correctly delivered to destination. Made some tests and it was fixed by adding the mailserver to "/etc/usermin/mailbox/config" with the line: server_name=mailsrv.myoffice.org (of course I added our mail server's hostname ;-) Well when enabling Auto Reply the following 2 files are created: - the .forward file with the line: |/usr/bin/procmail - the .procmailrc file with the following content: :0c | /etc/usermin/forward/autoreply.pl /home/gilles/autoreply.0.txt gilles >>>>> server_name=mailsrv.myoffice.org since I added but the .forward file is always created with > On 20 Jul 2022, at 22:44, Jamie Cameron <jca...@we...> wrote: > > Come to think of it, that shouldn't even be needed if you're using > Postfix as your mail server, as it delivers directly to the procmail command. > > Does anything useful get logged to /var/log/maillog ? > > On 18/Jul/2022 00:26 Gilles Celli <gil...@ec...> wrote .. >> Ah sorry! .forward contains of course /usr/bin/procmail >> >> >> >>> On 16 Jul 2022, at 23:30, Jamie Cameron <jca...@we...> wrote: >>> >>> Wait does .forward contain /usr/bin/procline or /usr/bin/procmail ? >>> >>> On 16/Jul/2022 07:15 Gilles CELLI <gil...@ec...> wrote .. >>>> Ah thank you very much !
