If your version of procmail is too old to redefine $MATCH in the middle of
a recipe,
:0
* ^From:\/(_dot_)*(_at_)popd\(_dot_)netcruiser
{
POPDSENDER=$MATCH
:0fwh
* POPDSENDER ?? ()\/[-a-z0-9_.]+@

-I "Reply-To: ${MATCH}ix.netcom.com"

| * ^From:.*popd.netcruiser

| IXEN=`$FORMAIL -zrx To:| sed -e 's/@.*//'`
That requires formail, sed, and a shell. My suggestion above uses only
formail.

| |($FORMAIL -r -I"To: $IXEN(_at_)ix(_dot_)netcom(_dot_)com"\
| -I"From: Wotan's Auto-Responder <wotan(_at_)netcom(_dot_)com>"\
| -A"Precedence: junk" \
| -A"X-Loop: $LOOP" \
| -I"Subject: Your From line needs to be fixed"; \
| cat $PMDIR/instruct ) \
| | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
That could stay the same, but you can drop the -I"To: ..." because with
the incoming Reply-To: replaced, formail -r will get a correct To:.
| }
However, I suggest changing the subject of your autoresponse to "Your From:
line needs to be fixed", because "From line" sounds like a reference to the
UNIX From_ line, not to the RFC822 From: header.

Yes, as above.

That's up to you. Some people will figure that if you fix it for them,
then what they're already doing works well enough and they won't fix it for
themselves.
