my exim4 config keeps sending out auto replies to random people and I am getting complaints not to mention alot of blank emails in my inbox. I am using smart host configuration with .forward file filtering!
I have commented out the transport in the forward file part of exim4.conf.template:
userforward:
? debug_print = "R: userforward for $local_part@$domain"
? driver = redirect
? domains = +local_domains
? check_local_user
? file = $home/.forward
? require_files = $local_part:$home/.forward
? no_verify
? no_expn
? check_ancestor
? allow_filter
? forbid_smtp_code = true
? directory_transport = address_directory
? file_transport = address_file
? pipe_transport = address_pipe
? #reply_transport = address_reply
? skip_syntax_errors
? syntax_errors_to = real-$local_part@$domain
? syntax_errors_text = \
??? This is an automatically generated message. An error has\n\
??? been found in your .forward file. Details of the error are\n\
??? reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\
and also this part:
# This transport is used for handling autoreplies generated by the filtering
# option of the userforward router.
#
address_reply:
#? debug_print = "T: autoreply for $local_part@$domain"
? driver = autoreply
However now my mail system sends warning messages out to various people:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its
recipients after more than 24 hours on the queue on gx110.optiplex-networks.com.
The message identifier is:???? 1KBy6T-0002aq-Sy
The subject of the message is: Cron <root@OptiplexGX110> /usr/bin/fetchmail -kv?
The date of the message is:??? Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:33:14 +0300
The address to which the message has not yet been delivered is:
? mail to root@???
??? generated by kayasaman@???
??? (ultimately generated from root@???)
No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for
some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message
remains undelivered. Eventually the mail delivery software will give up,
and when that happens, the message will be returned to you.
I have now had to take my mail system offline before emailers start getting irate. How can I disable the auto replies without getting the warning messages?
