Autorespond and forward

I've this configuration:

email1[at]domain.com
email2[at]domain.com

I've set the autorespond (
http://www.inter7.com/devel/autorespond-2.0.5.tar.gz) with qmailadmin for
the two address.
For email1[at]domain.com i've set the forward to email2[at]domain.com too.

So the .qmail file for the two address are:

&email2[at]domain.com
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/bounces/Maildir/
| /usr/bin/autorespond 86400 3 /home/vpopmail/domains/
domain.com/bounces/vacation/message /home/vpopmail/domains/
domain.com/bounces/vacation

/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/bounces/Maildir/
| /usr/bin/autorespond 86400 3
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/bounces/vacation/message
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/bounces/vacation<http://domain.com/bounces/vacation/message/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/bounces/vacation>

If i send a message to email1[at]domain.com, i receive two message one from
email1[at]domain.com and one from email2[at]domain.com. I would like receive only
the autorespond from email1[at]domain.com.
Is possible?

Thank you,

Mario.

This is a hack.
Manually change the above address to
|(echo 'Auto-submitted: auto-generated'; cat ) |forward email2[at]domain.com

The added header will (at least should) prevent the autoresponder (and
all other robots and programs) from auto-answering that mail.

I've change this:

&email2[at]domain.com
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/bounces/Maildir/
| /usr/bin/autorespond 86400 3 /home/vpopmail/domains/
domain.com/bounces/vacation/message /home/vpopmail/domains/
domain.com/bounces/vacation

into

|(echo 'Auto-submitted: auto-generated'; cat ) |forward email2[at]domain.com
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/bounces/Maildir/
| /usr/bin/autorespond 86400 3 /home/vpopmail/domains/
domain.com/bounces/vacation/message /home/vpopmail/domains/
domain.com/bounces/vacation

The response is one, but comes form email2[at]domain.com.
I would from email1[at]domain.com

Mario.

Looks good to me (if the last 3 lines are actually one single line)
However I don't understand the behaviour at all.

Ok, should have looked at the soure code first. Sorry!
The autoresponder doesn't honor "Auto-submitted" headers. *sigh*
So please change
|(echo 'Auto-submitted: auto-generated'; cat ) |forward email2[at]domain.com
to
|(echo 'Precedence: bulk'; cat ) |forward email2[at]domain.com
That should fix the problem to get an auto-answer from email2[at]domain.com.

As to why you didn't get a message from user1:
There is a limit you have set: 86400 3
Maybe this limit was met?
