I will be out of the office starting 2008-12-02 and will not return until 2008-12-06.

well, we will have email bombing from 2008-12-02 to 2008-12-06 :-P

Maybe we must have a rule "do not use autoreply feature for you email address that registered on mailing list :-)"

I just updated my /etc/postfix/maps/header_checks and reloaded Postfix.

# Reject OOTO-messages /^Subject:.*out of the office.*$/ REJECT Out Of The Office messages will not be delivered.

Normally I shouldn't even get this message myself (because of the subject).

OK, so that one didn't work. Because of the extra spaces. Aargh! Now it's: /^Subject:.*out.*of.*the.*office.*$/ REJECT Out Of The Office messages will not be delivered. Any comments, suggestions, improvements are welcome. EDIT: now it works, because I cannot even *send* the email. Squirrelmail tells me: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable Server replied: 550 5.7.1 Out Of The Office messages will not be delivered. So I changed the subject line. -- Amedee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
