[courier-users] Use of autoreplies in Maildrop

Hi All

This is a question seeking clarification in the documentation for
setting up autoreplies.

I have been trying to setup an autoreply functionality for our
technophobic users to access with sqwebmail.

My understanding from the Install docs is that if I setup a global
maildirfilterconfig in the /etc/courier directory as

MAILDIRFILTER=../.mailfilter
MAILDIR=./Maildir

then autoreplies will just work. Sqwebmail in fact gives the extra user
functions and creates an autoresponses directory in $HOME/Maildir. I am
guessing from comments made in the lists that a $HOME/.mailfilter might
also be created or modified to handle the defined autoreplies. The docs
don't seem to mention this or the need to manually create a filter, so
I'm just a tad confused about what to expect. In any case I can only get
autoreplies to work OK if I put in a suitable .mailfilter manually.

So my question is: do I need to create a mailfilter somewhere to handle
any autoreplies defined by the user, or should I be expecting this to be
handled automatically?

Apologies if it is a dumb question

cheers, Ken

ps: I have courier 0.50.0-1.3 on Fedora core 4 (a few months old now)
with ldap authentication and real user accounts.
