Re: Why does my autoreply not work ???

2002-08-09 09:20:16
I'm trying to set up a very simple anti-spam filter that automatically
replies to any mail message, asking the send to put 'foo' in the
header.

As an aside...and just my own personal tendencies...I rarely can be
bothered to resend something that has bounced back with a note saying
that I need to do something to prove I'm not a spammer.  That,
understandably, might not be a problem for you.

Any mail messages without foo will not be read. Later I will expand this
to automatically put the foo there, but for now I'm stuck at a more
fundamental level.

[...]

Any ideas what is wrong ? The .procmailrc and logs are below.

Could you explain why you think there is a problem?  What exactly is it
doing or not doing that you don't like?  Looking at the log extract you
included, it seems to be doing exactly what you wanted.

Just as a guess - sorry if this has no relation to your actual problem -
are you sure that you have set $SENDMAIL correctly?  Is there a reason
why you are setting it in your rcfile rather than using the compiled-in
default?

Regards,
Martin
