Hi, Having issues with the autoresponder adding the your mail to the top of the reply message instead of the auto reply. I have added the -N tag to the autoresponder.master file, but it does not seem to be working : # The following must be one contiguous line cc "| mailbot -N -t $RESPOND -d $RESPONDDB -c 'UTF-8' -D 1 \ -A 'From: $RECIPIENT' -s 'Auto Response: from $RECIPIENT' \ /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f ''" Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Are you sure you use courier on your server and not dovecot? The file you edited is for courier mail servers only.
According to the server, it should be running courier. ● postfix.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf# service dovecot status ● dovecot.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead)
Ok, then you edited the right file. But postfix must be installed as that#s the only smtp server supported by ISPconfig. Courier systems are not very common anymore for ispconfig systems, that's why I asked. Did you check if your modification has been written correctly into the autoresponder file of the mailbox?
I had a look to see if the autoresponder wrote to this dir /var/vmail/mailfilters/, but it was empty. Does it write it somewhere else?

I have, I sent this in my previous reply : root@:/var/vmail/mailfilters# ls -lah total 8.0K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 13 2016 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4.0K Dec 13 10:56 .. root@:/var/vmail/mailfilters# cd .. root@:/var/vmail# ls -lah total 32K drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4.0K Dec 13 10:56 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4.0K Mar 29 2017 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 220 Nov 13 2014 .bash_logout -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 3.5K Nov 13 2014 .bashrc -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 1.5K Oct 13 2016 .mailfilter -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.5K Oct 13 2016 .mailfilter~ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 13 2016 mailfilters -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 675 Nov 13 2014 .profile root@:/var/vmail#
Apologies, the issue seems to be that I completely forgot i'm running a multi server setup and mail is split from the control panel. Just assumed that it will read the conf file from the control panel and push to the mail server. I added the -N tag in the global settings, do I need to restart courier?
You will have to alter the autoresponder of that mailbox, e.g. change the time or alter the text slightly and save it. And yes, the master template must be altered on the mail server.
