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!

        All; I mean all the messages you need replay to ...

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.

        OK, you do not need cron - use at(1) command:

        1> in the script /some/where/replay:

for i in 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
    DO SOMETHINGS ....
    DO SOMETHINGS ....
    DO SOMETHINGS ....
    sleep 3600
done

at 1601 < /some/where/replay


        2>  To start enter the at(1) command:

at 1701 < /some/where/replay

        The output of the at(1) (just in case..) will be found in you mail.
        To see that your job is on the way:  atq(1)   or   at -l

Bye,
 Udi
