Need Help Please

[Alex Neuman van der Hans]

You might also want to check things that you usually take for granted, like
file permissions, the fact that the vacation program has to have a link to
it in /etc/smrsh if you're using sendmail, that vacation is ./configure'd
with the proper uid/gid, etc. - you'd be surprised how much those little
details (which are mentioned in the vacation manual) matter.

What you can do is make a ruleset that bypasses Spam tests for messages
coming from the server, 127.0.0.1.  You could whitelist it instead.

As long as auto-replies don't contain attachments or HTML it shouldn't be
caught the security checks of MailScanner.

Hope this answers your question, but for sure you should test it before
putting it in production, like anything.
