Setup¶
The user that executes the autoreply script needs to access
settings.py
. You must apply proper permissions on this file. For
example, if settings.py
belongs to www-data:www-data
, you can add
the vmail
user to the www-data
group and set the read permission
for the group.
To make Postfix use this feature, you need to update your configuration file as follows:
/etc/postfix/master.cf
:
autoreply unix - n n - - pipe
flags= user=vmail:<group> argv=python <modoboa_site>/manage.py autoreply $sender $mailbox
Replace <driver>
by the name of the database you
use. <modoboa_site>
is the path of your Modoboa instance.
Note
Auto-reply messages are just sent once per sender for a pre-defined time period. By default, this period is equal to 1 day (86400s), you can adjust this value by modifying the Automatic reply timeout parameter available in the online panel.
