To deactivate an autoreply, edit the /etc/mail/aliases file and place a pound sign (#) before both the responder and reply aliases for your autoresponder. Remember to run the mailctl restart command when you are finished.
Example:
Suppose you created an autoresponder called "info" as described in the Setting Up an Autoresponder section. To deactivate the autoresponder, you would follow these steps:
Open the /etc/mail/aliases file in a text editor such as pico:
> pico /etc/mail/aliases
Locate the responder and reply aliases:
info: user2,"|/usr/local/bin/autoreply -f info-reply@domain.com -a info@domain.com -m /etc/mail/replies/info"
info-reply: user2
Comment out both aliases by placing a pound sign (#) at the beginning of their respective lines:
#info: user2,"|/usr/local/bin/autoreply -f info-reply@domain.com -a info@domain.com -m /etc/mail/replies/info"
#info-reply: user2
Close the file and enter the mailctl restart command:
> mailctl restart
The autoresponder is now deactivated.
