Re: Simple responder

I'd use a more elaborate recipe for this.

This recipe won't send more than one message to the same recipient, and it
won't send anything at all if the recipient is not in the To: or Cc:
header (keeps you from polluting mailing lists).

ME=j(_dot_)blow(_at_)cse(_dot_)psu(_dot_)edu
REPLY=ehrlich(_at_)cse(_dot_)psu(_dot_)edu

#
# use 'formail' to prevent duplicate responses
#
:0 Whc: .vacation.lock
*? test -r .vacation
*!^FROM_DAEMON
*$^TO${ME}
| formail -rD 8192 .vacation.cache

#
# The tests succeeded, but formail failed: send a reply
#
:0 ehc
| (formail -A"Subject: xxxx" \
        -A"Reply-To: ${REPLY}" ; \
        cat message \
) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t

#
# Trash message
#
:0
/dev/null

Hope this helps.
