So I have been using qmail-autoresponder. for vacation messages on qmail, but it doesn't work with qmailadmin. which expects the program autorespond. So I finally got around to fixing this up and patching qmailadmin to write the proper files, and set the .qmail file to use qmail-autoresponder.
In doing so I've created a patch file which patches qmailadmin qmailadmin-qmail-autoresponder.patch. - I also use this ezmlm7 patch mailinglist.c.ezmlm7.patch.
I'm going to just dump my installation instructions which explain the usage:
# download patch files and qmailadmin tar zxvf qmailadmin-1.2.16.tar.gz cd qmailadmin-1.2.16 sed -i "33i\#include \"config.h\"" command.c patch < ../mailinglist.c.ezmlm7.patch patch < ../qmailadmin-qmail-autoresponder.patch ./configure --enable-cgibindir=/var/cgi-bin/ \ --enable-htmldir=/var/www/ \ --enable-imagedir=/var/www/ \ --enable-imageurl=/images \ --enable-domain-autofill \ --enable-ezmlmdir=/usr/local/bin/ezmlm \ --enable-autoresponder-path=/usr/local/bin
