Mail node - Autoresponders don't get migrated to mail node

When offloading email to a mail node server, autoresponders don't get migrated to the mail node.

I tested several times with no success. It doesn't migrate the active nor the expired. I think both should be migrated as often clients keep expired (vacations, etc) to reuse later with new dates.

  Hey there!  Let me reach out to the team on this one and I'll get back to you once I have more information.

  Thanks for your patience on this issue.  I did speak with the team about this and they confirmed that this is the current behavior and that there aren't any workarounds at this time.

  A fix for this issue isn't on our current roadmap due to other development priorities but I've made the team aware of the issue.

  Thanks for your feedback.
  
  Meanwhile, I worked around this by rsyncing the folder on the main server to the mail node server:

  rsync -avHP -e 'ssh -p <SSH PORT>' ~<USERNAME>/.autorespond/ root@<MAIL_NODE_SERVER>:~<USERNAME>/.autorespond

  Nice!  I'm glad you were able to come with a suitable workaround.  You could even potentially add this to a cron so it would run every so often to keep things in sync.

  Actually no, as the changes are done on the mail node, not the main.
  This is just to run after offloading mail from the main node to the mail node and it's needed for just 1 time.
  The auto-responders changes/creation after that work fine.
