I guess `VB' means `Visual Basic'? If it is, you are probably working on 
a Windows computer. AFAIK, procmail only exists on UNIX systems. 
Therefore, most of the things suggested on this list won't help you.

If you want to implement an autoresponder/mail processer on your system, 
I think the best you can do is install Pegasus Mail. Pegasus has the 
ability to process incoming mail. I haven't used Pegasus' filtering very 
much (I started reading my mail on the university's UNIX system), but I 
think you can call programs based on the contents of incoming mail.

You can do almost anything with Pegasus that you can do with Procmail.  
For a GUI mail app, it actually pretty decent - but not intuitive like 
Agent or Eudora are.

There is a discussion list on Pegasus, you should check the docs that 
come with it.

For more information, look at: http://www.cuslm.ca/pegasus/
(Just checked: the site is being rewritten at the moment, no sign of when 
it is coming back online.)

I got the copy of Pegasus I used to use from the simtel mirror at 
oak.oakland.edu
