Hi,
I think a simple perl script will handle this. Just forward your mail to
the perl script (using some alias in your MTA), and let that insert your
standard sales pitch.
If someone supplies me with a nice sales pitch, i'm more than happy to
write the script (i too have been replying the occasional virus thingy
now and then, saying 'your domain was hijacked' or something).
Regards,
Koen

I have been spending way too much time writing a sales pitch to some of
the thousands of bounced forgeries I get from stupid mail scanning
software. I have enclosed one such reply. There needs to be a way
to automate this. For starters, I want to start using a canned sales
pitch to save time. Does anyone already have a simple text file with
such a pitch?

Virii lie about who sent them. It only annoys innocent bystanders to send
this kind of message. At the very least, send such messages as MAIL FROM:

automatically
discard them when they reference messages our mail servers did not send.
Also, do yourself a favor and look at SPF:

You can help prevent the same thing happening to you by publishing SPF
records. And you can avoid annoying as many innocent bystanders by
checking SPF records for mail that you receive.
