Usage

qmail-reply [-f mailfile] [-j junkfile] [maildir]

Description

qmail-reply sends out reply messages, if you defined

deliverymode: reply

in your LDAP entry. qmail-reply is intellegent enough not to flood the sender with reply-messages, but to send only one message in a certain amount of time (see REPLY_TIMEOUT below). It also does not reply to messages having a "X-RBL" or "X-Spam-Status: Yes" header set.

Options at compile time

These variables can be changed in the Makefile or in qmail-ldap.h.

REPLY_TIMEOUT

Timeout in seconds, after which another reply is sent to the same user. Don't set that value too high and spam others with reply messages!
Default: 1209600 (= two weeks)

REPLY_CT

This defines the Content-Type header of the reply message. It has to end with a linebreak (\n)!
Default: "text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"

REPLY_CTE

Defines the Content-Transfer-Encoding header of the reply message. It has to end with a linebreak (\n)!
Default: "8bit\n"

Default subject of the reply message, if the original message didn't have a subject.
Default: "Your Mail"
