Hi, and thanks!!
No I dont have cron privileges, I only have a user account (ftp, Telnet)..
1) I only want the reply to be sent back to the "user" who sends a message to
office(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com, not if he sends a message to
backoffice(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com or
reidar(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com and so on. Not to replay to _ALL_ the messages!
2) My "problem" is that I want to send the autoreply at specfic times, (after
office hours), and I want it to be done automatically, without having to use
telnet and removing the .procmailrc file. I want the auto reply to be
"activated"
at 16.00 hours and "removed" at 09.00 hours, monday to friday and "activated" 24
hours a day during saturday to sunday.
Is there a way to do that??
My recipe works now as it is!
I only want it to automatically send auto-replies after 4 PM and stop sending
autoreplies after 9 AM on workdays... and.... sending auto-replies 24h a day
during weekends (saturday to sunday).

There are several.
First, if you have cron privileges on the machine, you could set up crontab
jobs to touch a zero-size file at 4 PM and to remove it at 9 AM on workdays;
then your procmail recipe could include a condition like this:
* ? test -f thatfile
[...]
I think thet Reidar wants to replay to _ALL_ the messages, but,
doing the job in specific time in the day (not in the rush hours).
Bye,
Udi
