I want to thank Jeffery Tay for his help.

Without further ado:

#Install Dovecot Manage Sieve
yum install dovecot-pigeonhole

#edit 20-managesieve.conf

}

#Append this to the end of 10-master.conf

Hello!

This solution works fine with real linux accounts.

This send a single autoresponser message for all virtual email accounts in a domain under a linux vestacp account

BUT how can this work with virtual email accounts under a linux account?
