When domain name contains a dash, autoreply fails to write the reply and the sender of the message receive an error message with following error:

<"test@domain-dash.tld"@autoreply.ddomain-dash.tld>
(expanded from ): Host or domain name
not found. Name service error for name=autoreply.test@domain-dash.tld
type=A: Host not found

It was a postfix + amavisd-new configuration issue. Amavis was filtering badly the autoreply messages

added in main.cf:

receive_override_options=no_address_mappings

modified master.cf to add the no_address_mapping to amavisfeed also.

Finally the cause of the problem was completely different: using the interface of modoboa, the domain name was modified, from @ddomain-dash.com@ to @ddomain-dash.tld@.

But in the @postfix_autoreply_transport@ sql table, the domain was not modified. The domain was still @autoreply.ddomain-dash.com@ in the database.

As a result, instead of resolving locally the autoreply adresses, postfix tried to resolve the domain and to send the message through smtp. As there is no @autoreply.ddomain-dash.tld@ in public DNS, the message was bounced back (to the original sender).

So the issue should be reworded: when renaming a domain in the modoboa interface, it seems the domain name is not modified in the autoreply table.
