Problems with Auto Responder

1999-05-18 16:04:12
I created an account on my Linux (Slackware) server called "mailbot" with the
intentions of setting up an autoresponder.  However, after a full day of trying
to get procmail to send back the message, it refuses and Im getting impatient. 
Whenever I go to use the vacation script, I get the "not allowed to run
external program" or something like that, so I figured procmail was the best.

Here's some quick logistics:

procmail v3.10 (10/31/1994)

Here's a printout of the user's .forward file:
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #mailbot"

Here's the .procmailrc file:
SHELL=/bin/sh
VERBOSE=on
SENDMAIL=/usr/bin/sendmail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
:0
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: mailbot(_at_)netwater(_dot_)com
| (formail -r -A"Precedence: junk" \   
-A"X-Loop: mailbot(_at_)netwater(_dot_)com" ; \ 
  cat /home/mailbot/fileserver/info.txt ) | $SENDMAIL -t 
 # we don't want to save any of the messages 
:0 /dev/null

Here's a result of the log file:
procmail: No match on ! "(^(Precedence:.*(junk|bulk|list)|(((Resent-)? -- REST
DELETED --
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/dev/null"
procmail: Opening "/dev/null"

Subject: Please work!
Folder: /dev/null                                                           650
procmail: Notified comsat: "mailbot(_at_)0:/dev/null"


And thats it.  It will not send the file "info.txt"

Maybe a little help please??
