Hi all, I am looking at once again setting up a vacation/out of office system and would appreciate some advice. The current setup looks like this: Internet -> Postfix -> Puremessage -> Postfix -> Local Delivery I would definitely like to handle the out of office messaging AFTER the virus/spam scanning so that we aren't doing reflection bounces of incoming spam and getting onto blacklists. 2 options that I can see: Somehow setup a rule in Puremessage to check if people are in the autorespond list (can populate that automatically from ldap) and if the spam rating is below say 10% then send an autoreply or palm it off to an external application (gnarwl looks good) Get the 2nd instance of postfix to send a copy of everything to gnarwl and have it handle who should be getting replies etc. What are peoples thoughts on this? Where is the best way for people to configure the custom message they would like to send, gnarwl can retrieve from LDAP but can puremessage do it as part of it's per-user configuration? Thanks in advance :388

Out of Office integration with sophos puremessage for unix

Hi all,

I am looking at once again setting up a vacation/out of office system and would appreciate some advice. The current setup looks like this:

Internet -> Postfix -> Puremessage -> Postfix -> Local Delivery

I would definitely like to handle the out of office messaging AFTER the virus/spam scanning so that we aren't doing reflection bounces of incoming spam and getting onto blacklists.

2 options that I can see:

Somehow setup a rule in Puremessage to check if people are in the autorespond list (can populate that automatically from ldap) and if the spam rating is below say 10% then send an autoreply or palm it off to an external application (gnarwl looks good)
Get the 2nd instance of postfix to send a copy of everything to gnarwl and have it handle who should be getting replies etc.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

Hello mwheeler,
Currently there is no customizable out-of-office end user functionality within PMX.
You can populate LDAP lists using pmx-ldap-sync, but it wouldn't be possible to create a user granular out-of-office reply. You could use pmx_notify with a standard template to create an out-of-office reply, but from the brief look I had at gnarwl, it looks to be more feature rich for that particular functionality.
Cheers,
MarkJD
