Greetings.
I'd like to configure procmail to detect e-mail messages which consist only
of HTML and then autorespond to them with a "Sorry, I don't accept HTML
mail"-type message. However, I don't want procmail to bounce such
messages if they are multi-part, with a text version of the HTML message.
Can someone suggest an appropriate script?
Well, first of all, a high percentage of HTML-only email is spam, and a
second-highest percentage is list mail; so I would strongly recommend
*not* to autorespond to this type.
However, identifying it is simple:
:0
* ^Content-Type:.*text/html
| do_something
and there are samples of autoresponders in "man procmailrc" for the
"do_something"
part.
If, however, you are talking about testing the putative multipart messages
and finding ones that in truth are only HTML, that is highly useful to
find spam -- I have a recipe for it I use and love -- but, again, I would
not respond to these jokers. None of your friends or legit correspondents
should be using that trick.
