[Pkg-exim4-users] Auto-reply mails and the envelope

[Neil S. Briscoe]

I'm willing to do that - the code is here

# Exim filter <<== Do not edit or remove this line!
if error_message then finish endif

deliver testpupil # We assume its personal mail, so we take it.

# If its personal mail and not mailing list stuff, let the sender
# know that I'm away.  Currently, we bug them only the first
# time they send a mail and every 5 days afterwards.

if personal or
   ( $header_to: contains testpupil@ or
   $header_from: does not contain testpupil@ and
   $header_from: does not contain server@ and
   $header_from: does not contain daemon@ and
   $header_from: does not contain root@ and
   $header_subject: does not contain "circular" and
   $header_precedence: does not contain "bulk" and
   $header_precedence: does not contain "list" and
   $header_precedence: does not contain "junk" )
then
   mail
     to $reply_address
     from $h_to:
     reply_to $h_to:
     subject "Re: $h_subject:"
     file $home/away/away_message
     once $home/away/once
     once_repeat 5d
endif

finish

As you can probably guess, this is the .forward file for a user called 
testpupil at the relevant domain.

A reply message is triggered and hits the queue.  It tends to show up 
something like :-

10m  5.5K 1JUppu-0006XF-AS <> (testpupil)
           neil.briscoe at adelix.com

What I'd like is to get that testpupil inside those angle brackets, but 
I can't seem to find a way.

Regards
Neil
