Further to the below message I tried a different vacation config (thanks
Bernard) but it reported the same error "Failed to send message from
<transportname> transport (69)". Also forwardfile transport reports the
same error. The common point seems to be autoreply. It would appear to
me that my autoreply driver is malfunctioning, can I test for this
beyond what I have done and does anyone know what error (69) means?
