Ever wondered how to turn on out of office auto replies or support messages in Sendmail or Postfix for multiple mailboxes? It's easier than you think. Use MSH Autoresponder milter application with easy to use GUI.

MSH Autoresponder for Postfix and Sendmail

I will skip the part with the program installation and configuration and just go to the essential part of creating rules. You can find documentation about installation here.

When an app is ready and running create a rule. Select Autoresponder rules node, click button Add New button. For this blog post we will create a sample out of office auto reply. Fill Subject like "Out of Office: $SUBJECT". Users which will send emails to our mail server will receive auto replies with subject: Out of Office: . Original subject is the subject from a message which was send to our mail server. $SUBJECT is a dynamic field and will be replaced each time when an auto reply is sent.

In the Body text field put your auto reply body. We will inform senders that we will return on 10 October. By default an auto reply message is in text format, so you cannot use rich text formatting, like: bold or italic. The application doesn't support html format, but it's possible to send an auto replies in html format. See this article how to achieve that.

Go to Conditions page and click Add button, select Message Recipient menu. Enter an email address, like john.doe@company.com and choose to search in TO and CC field option. Click OK button to apply.

On Time Range page select Enable Time Range option and choose date from and date to. This is a date range in which we will be out of office. Deselect All day option if needed.

Last step is to define rule name, you could leave the default value if you don't want to change it. 

Click button OK, then save settings button. 

From now until 10 October, when someone will send an email to john.doe@comapny.com mailbox an auto reply will be triggered and send back to sender of the original message.

  • Add a new Rule.
  • Define a first condition Message Sender
  • Enter your domain name using Wildcards. Ie. *@domain.name
  • Click OK button.

We need to exclude messages from adding disclaimer which are internal. We don't know to which addresses external emails will be sent, we only know own domain name. So we will create an exception.

  • Define exception Message Sender
  • Enter your domain name using Wildcards, ie. *@domain.name
  • Click OK button.

  • On Disclaimer page define content for Html and Text format.
  • Click button OK to close rule wizard.

If you want to add multiple destination with always_bcc you cannot use default mechanism, aliases need to be used. With MSH Traffic Policy you don't need to create additional entries in /etc/aliases.

If you would like to define selective alwyas bcc for sender or recipients read this post.

Select messages


You need to select which messages should get additional BCC addresses. Go to Conditions tab, click button Add and select Message Sender menu. For our scenario we assume that we want to add BCC recipients to all messages which are from our domain, ie. domain.net.

Email addresses can be matched as exact, with wildcards or regular expressions.


Add Envelope Recipient action


This action will work like "add bcc recipient", it will add only envelope recipient without BCC header. Recipient of this message will not see whom also received this message.

Add Envelope Recipient is only one of many actions which could be used on messages.

In new opened window provide an address for the mailbox to which you want to forward messages. Now once again choose Add Envelope Recipient action. Add as many addresses as you want.

You can add as many BCC recipients as you want.
That's it, now each message which is addressed from @domain.net will be blindly forwarded to john.doe@domain.net and mike.grey@domain.net mailboxes.

Server side autoresponder

An autoresponder is a computer program that automatically answers e-mail sent to it. They can be very simple or quite complex.

The first autoresponders were created within mail transfer agents that found they could not deliver an e-mail to a given address. These create bounce messages such as "your e-mail could not be delivered because..." type responses. Today's autoresponders need to be careful to not generate e-mail backscatter, which can result in the autoresponses being considered E-mail spam.

Autoresponders are often used as e-mail marketing tools, to immediately provide information to their prospective customers and then follow-up with them at preset time intervals.

Such follow-up autoresponders can be divided into two categories:

  • Outsourced ASP model — these autoresponders operate on the provider's infrastructure and are usually configurable via a web-based control panel. The customer pays a monthly usage fee. This is easiest to implement for the end-user.
  • Server-side — enables users to install the autoresponder system on their own server. This requires technical skills.

Autoresponders are also incorporated into electronic mailing list software, to confirm subscriptions, unsubscriptions, posts, and other list activities.
