Hi,

I have configured my Postfix server with vacation for a domain. Sending a message to [email protected] causes two events:

Everything works well except for one particular drawback: the auto-reply is also sent to the recipient, so it receives two messages in the end.

What can I do to avoid that? I'm only using the $TO variable in the custom vacation.msg message. And here is Postfix's master.cf vacation line:

autoreply unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
    flags=Rhu user=vacation argv=/usr/bin/vacation -j -m /home/vacation/.vacation.msg -f /home/vacation/.vacation.db vacation

I know using the -j is a little bit risky according to man page, but I'm kind of testing here.
