Write a perl/php web script
have it make a config file, and auth it off the same mechanism as your
system uses for imap/smtp
what i do is a little different too...
i have this line in my router for virtual accounts:
shadow_condition = ${if exists
{/usr/exim/vacation/$local_part@$domain}{1}{0}}
shadow_transport = virtuals_vacation
and this router:
virtuals_vacation:
driver = autoreply
to = $sender_address
from = $local_part@$domain
subject = 'Out of Office' Auto-Reply ( $local_part@$domain )
file = /usr/exim/vacation/$local_part@$domain/body.txt
log = /usr/exim/vacation/$local_part@$domain/log.txt
once = /usr/exim/vacation/$local_part@$domain/once.dbm
once_repeat = 5d
basically, it checks if there's a directory on the filesystem in a
vacation folder that matches the accepted devliery address. if it
does, then it uses the files in that folder to configure the vacation
message and log it.
