Okay, in the case below, it bounced because it contained
the words "may be forged", something we filter out through
majordomo. I'd like to automatically respond to "From: Ben Courtice
<benj(_at_)connexus(_dot_)net(_dot_)au>", the sender but not to myself as
"From
lnp3(_at_)panix(_dot_)com". I guess that a perl script can pick out the right
addressee but I am not sure how to integrate that into a procmail
We don't need to fire up perl. This is as I hoped. Btw, I hadn't
noticed before that you are on panix. Drop by the panix.* local
groups sometime.
Formail, which is part of the procmail package, grabs the
address you want and parses it just fine. Formail is nice and
low-impact. Read `man formail' for the precedences it follows
with the -rt options. I ran the following on your headers
and came up with the address you want to have:
$ formail -rtzx To: < foo
benj(_at_)connexus(_dot_)net(_dot_)au
Throw in a `k' flag and we can quote the fellow's mail back to
him. Be sure to add an X-Loop to stop ringing mail! See `man
procmailex' for an example of that. We needed formail for that
anyway, so parsing Ben's address requires no extra effort to
speak of.

$SENDMAIL $SENDMAILFLAGS -t

Here's the result on your saved headers and the list tag
that I left at the end for a simulated body:
To: benj(_at_)connexus(_dot_)net(_dot_)au
