Cancel processing of .procmailrc if autoresponder textfile isn't available

1997-08-03 04:03:00
Dear Sirs,

I would need to setup my .procmailrc-file only answering emails, if the 
textfile for autoresponding is really available. In case the specified textfile 
isn't available, currently an email is sent out with headers, and - of course - 
no message. It is possible to setup .procmailrc to abort processing, if the 
specified textfile isn't available, so NO answer is sent?

Purpose: For an email-Service, users can update ther autoresponder-textfiles 
themself whithout need neither to edit .procmailrc or ftp-upload nor need any 
password to access their textfiles. They get two additional mail-aliases, one 
to delete their textfile (if sent any mail to this address) and the other one 
is to "program" their textfile (which means, the headers are cutted off and 
mail-body will be saved as new autoresponder-text). Deleting the textfile, 
whithout creating a new one means, autoresponder should be switched off.

Thank you in advance!
