Hi,
I've read the docs and search the lists but there doesn't seem to be
anything that matches my question....so....
I've been using exim for about eight months but never really tried to do
anything out of the ordinary with it. Now I am trying to put in a
vacation filter system
This is my director
# This director handles vacation mail for users
uservacation:
user = $local_part
driver = forwardfile
check_local_user
require_files = /usr/local/vacation/$local_part
owners = exim
file = /usr/local/vacation/.filter
filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
This sits between userforward: and localuser: directors. The
address_reply transport looks like this:-
# This transport is used for handling autoreplies generated by the
filtering
# option of the forwardfile director.
address_reply:
driver = autoreply
end
This is the last entry in my transport section (hence the "end").
As you can see the director requires a file
/usr/local/vacation/$local_part which contains the users vacation
message. It also points to a common filter file, which contains:-
# Exim filter
if personal then
vacation
subject "AutoReply: $h_subject"
text "-------------------------\nThis message
has been composed by e-mail software.\n
delivery of your e-mail (subject: $h_subject) has
not been affected. There is nothing you need do.\n
Thanks\n---------------------------\n\n"
expand file "/usr/local/vacation/$local_part"
endif
The "text" bit is all one line - I have trincated it for this e-mail.
This file is owned by exim and has 754 permission
The idea is that users will be able to use a perl driven web page to set
their own vacation message which is automatically removed at their
chosen (or by them) time by another script.
The director appears to work fine but gives an error I cannot fathom.
Here are the log records for a test message I sent to "testuser".
/usr/local/vacation/testuser exists and is owned by testuser (777).
/usr/local/vacation is owned by exim (777).

The last line shows the (69) message I get. The message I send (to
testuser) is delivered okay and if I send another the logging and once
systems work to prevent me being sent another autoreply. The logs do not
show an error this time just:

I can find no mention of a 69 error code - any ideas what might be the
problem?
