Hi all,
I use an out-of-the-office reply feature that is implemented like this:
users can save a text file in there homedirectory.
That is picked up by a director:
imonholiday:
driver = localuser
transport = holiday_transport
require_files = /home/${local_part}/onholiday.txt
and the transport:
holiday_transport:
driver = autoreply
text = "Automated message:\
Your message has ** NOT ** been delivered to ${local_part}@${domain}, re
ason is given below:\
"
file = "/home/${local_part}/onholiday.txt"
to = $sender_address
user = mail
# user = ${local_part}
group = mail
The problem:
Most home directories are samba exported and masked to 077.
The file ends up being readable only by the user (which is good like
this!). But Exim can't read it and defers.
If I set user=${local_part} (as seen above, commented out)
It can't read/write the spool dir.
So really, I'd like to know if there is an option to do most
stuff as the local user (including reading the file) but do the
actual mail-delivery as mail.mail.

Please copy to me, I'm not on the list.
