To forward or send mail from a mailfilter, sqwebmail generates a rule that  
invokes $SENDMAIL. You can see that in the .mailfilter. $SENDMAIL's default  
value is established when maildrop gets built. At build time, a search is  
made for the sendmail binary in predetermined location, and that gets saved.

For autoreplies the similar thing happens with the "mailbot" command.  
The .mailfilter should show where mailbot was installed, at the time  
sqwebmail was built, and that's where it's expected to exist.

Check off "and continue filtering" when creating the mail filter.
