Just picked up a copy of procmail-3.10....
I want to use it to send an auto-acknowledgement to all incoming
email messages. What's the best way to do this?
I've found that if I put the following in my .forward:
\user, "| formail -r | /usr/lib/sendmail -t"
then I sort of get what I want, except that I can't specify a
message to send back with. Though formail is mentioned as the
way to do auto-replies, there doesn't seem to be any example on
how this is actually done.

Hi George,
I suggest you to write the following in your ~/.forward:
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -t- || exit 75 #YOUR_LOGIN_NAME"
then you write the following in your ~/.procmailrc:
:0 h c
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: your(_at_)own(_dot_)mail(_dot_)address
| (formail -r -A"Precedence: junk" \
-A"X-Loop: your(_at_)own(_dot_)mail(_dot_)address" ; \
echo "YOUR MESSAGE") | $SENDMAIL -t
In this way you have a simple customizable autoreply recipe ...
You can see procmailex.5 for more details.
I hope that's work fine ...
Have a nice day,
Luke
