Hi,

I am running RH 7.3 and Sendmail. How do i enable auto responder support for the domains hosted on my server?

I do not use CPanel.

Ideally i would want to install an auto responder support with web based control panel so that authorized users can setup the same via the web. I do use webmin and usermin.

Cheers,
Viv

Anyone?

Not many people will know how to do it with send mail as most are using exim (with cpanel).

You'll have to wait for the Ensim and Plesk guys to come over

i understand i need to install some additional software for this, i am not sure which one but i think sendmail doesnt have auto-resp. in built, it is some external pulggin.

I belive you need to pipe it to a file which commands it to reply back with an email.

Couple things you might want to look at are .forward file and procmail (recommended). In ether case you will need to create file in users directory and insert commands in it that will let you manipulate incoming email.

yes, i have procmail, and .forward files can be created in users home directory, now how can a user setup auto responder user .forward?

Working samples are in man pages. There are some examples here:

thanks sasha :)

Through webmin, you can setup an autorespond by going into the sendmail icon under the system tab, then into the 'Mail Aliases' icon.

From here you can add the alias/forward/autoreply. You will have to create a text file with the message you want in the reply befor you do this though.

thanks raqit, i just discovered that too in webmin.
