==================
Here some explaination:
==================

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some support for Qmail and I don't find a lot on the
internet, so I decide to subscribe to this mailling list !

Here my problem, for some days I have duplicate mail issue:

When I put autorespond(vacation notify) trought the QmailAdmin on a user
(exemple: test_loop@XXX.com), it works great until the same mail
address(postmaster@XXX.com for exemple) send more than 3 messages.
After this point postmaster don't received the vacation notify anymore
(this part is OK) and test_loop received the last message from
postmaster in infinite loop !

Postmaster don't receive the autorespond notify after 3 messages(totaly
normal) but qmail keep sending the same mail in infinite loop ???
I have no idea what's going bad, and I never have such issue with qmail !

As we can see the fourth mail have no "end msg" signal and no
autorespond notify.
If someone have some idea to fix this issue ....

Best regards,

It looks like your vacation program is changing its return code after
the third message. So what's happening is that, for the first
messages, the vacation program is preventing mail delivery by
providing a given return code (probably code 99, which prevents
further delivery of that message) and then generating the vacation
response. For the later messages, that appear to be being delivered in
a loop, the vacation program is generating a different return code to
indicate temporary failure (probably code 111, which indicates a soft
failure, and tells qmail that it should retry delivery later).

I don't know why your vacation program is designed the way it is, but
if you don't like that behavior, you may want to either figure out how
to configure your vacation program (does it have a global config file
you can edit?) or pick a different vacation program.

Julien, I am new to the list as well.

I believe the previous reply from Kyle gives good insight in the
autoresponder changing its return code depending on maximum number
of messages to respond to within time seconds. There was a related
code change in utorespond-2.0.5 from utorespond-2.0.4:
And some discussion in change log and readme files.


utorespond-2.0.5/autorespond.c:
if(count>num) {
fprintf(stderr,"AUTORESPOND: too many received from [%s]\n",sender);
_exit(0); /* don't reply to this message, but allow it to be delivered */
}

utorespond-2.0.4/autorespond.c:
if(count>num) {
fprintf(stderr,"AUTORESPOND: too many received from [%s]\n",sender);
_exit(99);
}


2003-09-18: inter7 autorespond-2.0.5
http://inter7.com/devel/autorespond-2.0.5.tar.gz
http://inter7.com/devel/autorespond-2.0.4.tar.gz
http://inter7.com/devel/autorespond-2.0.3.tar.gz
http://inter7.com/devel/autorespond-2.0.2.tar.gz
http://inter7.com/devel/autorespond-2.0.1.tar.gz
http://inter7.com/devel/autorespond-2.0.0.tar.gz
http://inter7.com/devel/




Usage: autorespond time num message dir [ flag arsender ]

time - time in seconds to consider consecutive
num - maximum number of messages to respond to within time seconds
message - the message file
dir - directory to store list of e-mail addresses
optional parameters:
flag - heandling of original message:
0 - append nothing
1 - append quoted original message without atatchments
arsender - from adress in generated message (* = None)


|autorespond 10000 5 help_message help_autorespond 1
&your-email-address@company.com

This will allow up to five messages from the sender within about 3 hours
and include the original message as a quote.


|autorespond 10000 10 help_message help_autorespond 0 +
&your-email-address@company.com

This will allow up to ten messages from the sender within about 3 hours and
will NOT include the original message as a quote and will leave the from
field blank.


Create a file in your ~alias directory called help_message. It should say
something like this:

From: Support <help@company.com>
Subject: Help Response

This is a response to your help request.

Below is a copy of the message we received.

--------

Make sure that "From:" is the first line of the file. You should probably
include the dashes to separate your help message from the user's message.
An example is included with this package.

Create a directory called help_autorespond in your ~alias directory. This
is where the log of messages goes.

That should be it.

Notes
=====
9/18/2003
- If the maximum count has been reached, the autoresponse doesn't
get shipped out, but the message is still processed as usual.
This is a change from older versions because it didn't make
sense before.

Wow ! Thank you so much Mike and Kyle, it work great now !

Here what I do to fix my vacation program:

I take "autorespond-2.0.5.tar.gz" from Mike's link and extract the files.
I check in "autorespond.c" at line 696 "AUTORESPOND: too many received
from", the exit code was (0). (Good !)
Compile autorespond !
# cd /your/path/to/extract/file/
# make
And simply replace the binary in "/usr/local/bin/" by the new one.
Restart Qmail properly.

My message have proper "end msg" signal now:

2013-07-31 09:53:17.611352500 new msg 220574
2013-07-31 09:53:17.611366500 info msg 220574: bytes 2684 from

2013-07-31 09:53:17.929576500 end msg 220574

And the mail is successfully delivered.


Thanks for your time both of you !

Best regards,

Hello Andy,

I restart Qmail just to be sure he takes the new binary of autorespond
and make all the current Qmail process use the new binary.

Maybe it's not necessary ? I'm not an expert.
