I would like to reply to a sender's message by my own message
such as "Thank you for your mail, I will repond to it
momentarily" AND I would like to send all the contents (body
and attachments) back to the sender. So far, I am running the
following autoreply script:
:0 h c
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: mail@<mydomain>
<mailto:mail(_at_)pc4(_dot_)apl(_dot_)utoronto(_dot_)ca>
| (formail -r -A"Precedence: junk" \
-A"X-Loop: mail@<mydomain>
<mailto:mail(_at_)pc4(_dot_)apl(_dot_)utoronto(_dot_)ca>
" ; \ echo "Mail has been received and will be replied to
shortly. Thank you for your patience.") | $SENDMAIL -t
It is sending that message back to the sender, but I want to
subject of that message to be "autoreply" and the contents
should be that message PLUS the contents of the sender's
message. How do I do that? Please help..
I already wrote the other day that you probably want the -f
option to sendmail. I worked some more on this whole approach
of quoting the body and adding a prefix, in text-only. It
took me a bit of work to get it working. Here it is.
Note that you need a LINEBUF setting big enough for the biggest
message you intend to quote, plus of course more "buffer" space
for normal ops on top of that. I put such a setting in here
below. On my system, while -f is honored for SENDMAIL, it only
works if the address is real. Other systems may or may not
honor the -f flag. Depends on the administrator and settings.
Oh: this will only *quote* MIME-encoding of attachments.
It will be very ugly. Obviously, if you really want to
send the entire body back with attachments, you need to
do things a bit differently -- especially if the body is
not plaintext. As I said earlier, you will have problems
injecting a message ("prepending") in a MIME body without
special tools beyond procmail and formail.
