1. I know the condition is matching because the autoresponse bounced.
Yet the incoming message did not go into the genealogy folder.
Was the disk full? Could you have hit your quota? This is where the
logfile would be useful.
2. The autoresponse bounced because the incoming message had the following
header:
From: "Deborah L. Hughes" <"dlhlmh(_at_)eosinc(_dot_)com"@eosinc.com>
and the 'bot tried to respond to
"dlhlmh(_at_)eosinc(_dot_)com"@eosinc.com
The correct response is obvious to natural intelligence, but not to artificial
:-)
It shouldn't have bounced, as that address is correctly formed, and the
MTA at eosinc.com probably should have noted the presence of a '@' in
the user part after dequoting. That the message did bounce indicates
either a) a misconfiguration of the MTA at eosinc.com, either for not
accepting that address or for generating that address; or b) a
misconfiguration of Ms. Hughes's mailer, for generating that address.
Formail did the right thing.
