One reason why I do not like using the autoreply feature of the Exim filter is
because the 'personal' test is not flexible enough.
In my case, I use a vacation router/transport to generate autoreply (vacation)
messages. Easier for the users: they just put their message into a file, and
do not have to worry about filter syntax. My method is documented at:
http://wiki.exim.org/EximAutoReply
Note that associated with it is a long list of patterns that match 'senders to
whom autoreply messages should not be sent'. My own implementation has an
additional list of local addresses that generate mail but do not expect a
reply.
Note also that there are a number of other conditions on an incoming message
which indicate that a reply should not be sent; the 'personal' test
encapsulates few of these. I guess even my own list is not exhaustive, but it
does deal with the vast majority now.
My feeling is that the conditions used by the 'personal' test need to be
directly configurable by the server administrator, so that user filters using
the test benefit from lists such as the above.
