Are you willing to accept a suggestion from the voice of
experience? Do not use an autoresponder willy nilly merely to
acknowledge receipt of the message whether the sender requested
it or not. I did for a short time, and a few people got rather
steamed at me. Some people _do_not_want_ automatic acknowledgments
of their mail. If your mail system does not honor Return-Receipt-To:
(some don't), you could write a procmail recipe to detect the header
and parse out the receipt address and then automatically acknowledge
the message if so requested.
