auto-replying -- sending back the _headers_

1997-03-26 19:20:48

I am helping a few people debug their sendmail configs.  They are  
trying to make sure all their headers are in the right order, etc.

I would like to be able to setup a thing where they could send me a  
message with a certain subject and get an automated response -- but  
the response would/should include all the headers from their  
original message (so they can check out their 'From ' lines, etc.)

[ Note: they are using 'Reply-To' lines so there will be a valid  
address available for the autoresponder....]

I was thinking it would be something like this:

:0fb
* ! ^X-Loop: luomat(_at_)peak(_dot_)org
* ^Subject:[    ]SendAReply
|(formail -rt -I"From: TjL AutoReplier <luomat(_at_)peak(_dot_)org>" \
        -I"Precedence: junk"  \
        -I"X-Loop: luomat(_at_)peak(_dot_)org" )|$SENDMAIL -oi -t

but that and various other things I tried resulted in nothing close  
to what I was looking for.

I searched back messages but nothing about sending back the headers  
(sending back the body is most common, but I wasn't able to hack  
that into working for the headers either).

Thanks
