Betreff: [Exim] question about autoreply and filters
Hi!

While this is not meant as a complaint, there are not enough examples
for the autoreply transport out there. Judging from the mailing list
archives, autoreply is one of the more problematic transports because
it's extremely versatile. May I ask people using autoreply to submit
examples to the FAQ maintainer?

However, what I intend to do is this:

Quite some of the addresses I use are almost only used by spammers but
I don't want to disable these addresses altogether. I have, however,
concentrated them that they all end up on the same exim and are
aliased to the same alias, "mh-expired" which currently delivers into
my normal mailbox on that system.

What I want to do: If a message comes in on mh-expired, I'd like to
throw it away and generate an autoreply that says that the message
received came in on an expired address, that it was thrown away
without having been read and that the author should re-send it to some
other address where it will be read.

Is this a usage for autoreply or should it better be done in a
personal filter?

Any hints will be appreciated.

Greetings
Marc
