Put a timestamp into the cache.
An example of how to do this lives in "ackmail.rc", which handles both
vacation mode and "work" mode autoreplies.
The procmail recipe file "ackmail.rc" is part of my procmail library,
which you can get either by sending me an email with the subject of "get
procmail library", or by browsing my web page under the "mail" or
"depot" links.
Good luck.
