Re: Question about generating auto-reply

Larry Griffith asked,

| For e-mail generated on our LAN the Return-path: header is
| <user>@<hostname>.cs.wsc.ma.edu but the From: header is just
| <user>@cs.wsc.ma.edu .  It is important that the auto-reply go to the
| latter address.  How do I do this?  Currently I have the following:

| | (formail -r -A"Precedence: junk" 
-A"X-Loop:larry(_at_)cs(_dot_)wsc(_dot_)ma(_dot_)edu" ;  \
|       echo "Please accept this automatically generated reply as proof "; \
|       echo "that your message arrived successfully.  I will reply as  "; \
|       echo "soon as possible.                                         "; \
|       echo "                                                          "; \
|       echo "                          Larry Griffith                  "; \
|       ) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t

Use formail -rt to prefer From: over From_ (though both -r and -rt will,
in current versions, prefer Reply-To: to both if it is present).

| I experimented with the -k
| and -i options but haven't found anything that works.

You should have tried -t.
