Re: [Procmail] Procmail as an auto-responder?

1997-01-04 17:07:50
Hi Middlekauff Keith!  I'm a UNIX administrator and I like to fight spam!
Can I use procmail as an auto-responder?
I am confused by the man pages.
If someone could point me to the right
resources I would appreciate it.

        Better yet, here's a copy of my procmail recipe for an autreply:

# send help text
:0 E:
* ^To:.*dmuth*.help
* !^X-Loop: dmuth(_at_)ot(_dot_)com
{
:0 c:
| ($formail -rt -A"X-Loop: dmuth(_at_)ot(_dot_)com" -I "Subject: Automated 
reply";\
cat helptext) |$SENDMAIL -oi -t
}

        Of course, helptext is a file in my procmail directory that 
contains text to be mailed to the user.

        See my autoresponder firsthand by sending e-mail to 
dmuth+help(_at_)ot(_dot_)com(_dot_) 

        Regards,
