setting up an autoreply

1998-08-03 16:18:56
Hello all--
I've subscribed to this list with the hope that some of you can assist a
procmail newbie (that's me!) 

Here's my situation: I manage a mailing list which sends me copies of the
"subscribe" messages so I can keep track of the membership. Whenever I
receive a "subscribe" message, I respond by hand with a welcome message. 
However, my list has been booming lately, and I can't keep up with the
replies. I would like to have an autoreply (residing on the mail server)
which would filter on the subject line to send the welcome message reply
automatically. 

I realize most mailing list software has this kind of function, but for
whatever reason my list admin says it won't work and I'm not inclined to
argue. ;) Others have told me that procmail can perform the functions I'm
looking for, but I can't find anyone to give me step-by-step instructions.
Hopefully someone in this forum will be able to provide me with an answer!

TIA,
--> Amy

P.S. please cc: me on the reply, as I'm only subscribed to the digest.
