Hello - any news about that, please ? Răzvan I think this request is out of the postfix package maintainer scope. It is about development of new feature and it shouldn't be done on stable RHEL-5. For physical users you could use the .forward file in home directories. Also some of the available extensions could probably full-fill you requirements too (see http://www.postfix.org/addon.html). In case it is important for your business, please escalate this through customer portal. |
Description of problem: Hello, IMHO, the following is a major limitation / missing feature in Postfix: Regular users should be provided with a facile way of setting an auto-reply message for themselves ("I'm out of office until September." ;-) ) This mechanism should meet the following criteria: - can be done remotely, in a facile way (via a Web interface ?) - should be 100% independent of the way users are defined in Postfix (system users, virtual mailboxes, virtual domains, please see http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html ) or the way in which user passwords are stored in the related IMAP server; - users should not be able to modify other Postfix parameters or to overwrite main.cf (as they can via Webmin or other remote administration solutions) - should be present in the default postfix repository (probably as a separate .rpm package) - should integrate nicely with other related packages (dovecot, squirrelmail, etc.) I'm marking this as "severity=high" because I consider it of general interest, for a large mass of users. Regards, Răzvan Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Postfix doesn't provide a way for regular users to set up an autoreply message for themselves (without administrator's intervention). Expected results: Such a way should exist; it should be accesible remotely in a facile way and should be independent of the database backend used for usernames and passwords. Additional info:
