I would like the autoresponder message to be dynamic, i.e. how can I program the autoresponder message to send back a password that changes every day or similar? It would be great if the autoresponder text could be replaced by the output of a given script for example.
anyone? where is the autoresponder message stored? in the database? can I make a cron job that changes the message every day?
That depends on the lda that you use. For courier, it is tored in a file in the /var/vmail/mailfilters/..... folder. For dovecot the message is stored in the .sieve file in the root of the maildir folder. You can change the autoresponder text with the ispconfig remote API withe the mail user update function.
can't get it to work. I chmodded .vacation.msg to 777 and added /var/vmail/mailfilters/mydomain.com/passwords to the openbasedir... and I try Code: $fh = fopen('/var/vmail/mailfilters/mydomain.com/passwords/.vacation.msg', 'w') (passwords is the email alias) but I still get ideas anyone?
still stumped by this problem. .vacation.msg has 777 permissions, as well as the directory containing the file. I added the path to PHP openbasedir. I still get Warning: fopen(/var/vmail/mailfilters/mydomain.com/passwords/.vacation.msg) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/clients/client2/web7/web/change_autoresponder.php on line 3 Can someone help me or tell me why I can't open the file for writing?
Did you check the permissions/ownerships of all directories in the path to /var/vmail/mailfilters/mydomain.com/passwords/.vacation.msg?
thank you Falko that is the probable cause why it doesn't work, but I don't want to potentially mess up my system by changing the groups on the directories instead, I try to copy files there, but it doesn't work either: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51754 the script works fine when started manually, but not with the cron job...
