Yes, it is quite easy when using formail tool and sendmail.
Here is a simple example gathered from the web and that can be used to
generate an automatic reply upon succefull condition:
# start the new recipe
:0
# match a spammer address for example
* ^From(_dot_)*foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com
# bypass daemon mail
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^FROM_MAILER
# avoid loops
* !^X-Loop: me(_at_)myhost(_dot_)me
# start the composition of the mail with the formail tool
# make sure that the $SENDMAIL variable is set to the complete path to
# your mail transport agent
# put your bla bla bla in the echo
# don't forget the leading '\'
| (formail -rk \
-A "X-Loop: me(_at_)myhost(_dot_)me" \
-A "Precedence: junk"; \
echo "Please don't send me any more mail";\
echo "This is an automated response";\
echo "I'll never see your message";\
echo "So, GO AWAY" ) | $SENDMAIL -t -oi
see respectively formail and sendmail man page for more information

Hi!
I want to know is it possible that procmail generate e-mail with text "bla
bla bla" when the new mail arrives?
Thanx!
