Exim Autoreply router doesn't work for aliases

  • 772

I am using an autoreply router, based on a common recipe floating on the net:

Router:

uservacation:
  driver = redirect
  allow_filter
  domains = domain.com
  hide_child_in_errmsg
  debug_print = "R: autoreply for $user"
  reply_transport = vacation_reply
  no_verify
  require_files = /home/share/autoreply.txt
  file = /home/share/autoreply.txt
  user = Debian-exim
  group = Debian-exim
  unseen

Transport:

vacation_reply:
  debug_print = "T: vacation reply for $local_part@domain"
  driver = autoreply
  file = /home/share/autoreply.txt
  file_expand
  from = [email protected]
  to = $sender_address
  subject = "Re: $h_subject"
  text = "Automatic reply\n\n"

Autoreply:

# Exim filter
if ($h_subject: does not contain "SPAM?" and personal) then
 mail
 expand file /home/share/autoreply.txt.txt
 to $reply_address
 from $local_part\@$domain
 subject "Autoreply...[Re: $h_subject:]"
endif

This works well for most users, however one user has an alias in /etc/aliases which is processed by a system_aliases router before the autoreply.

If the email is sent to the alias, then the autoreply doesn't trigger. I cannot figure out why, as the router above doesn't seem to care whether the local_part matches a system username.

Any ideas? (By the way, I realise I am doubling up some of the elements there as I have tried different approaches).
