I'm not sure that sharing this script is wise, as it will – unless I
misunderstood something – generate an automatic response to absolutely
everything, every single time.
If I haven't misunderstood, then this script is going to create
problems for anyone using it.
No, it only sends one message per email address per day.
`mailbot -t "./autoreply.txt" -d "./autoreply" -A "To: \$MAILFROM" -A "From: \$MAILTO" -s
"\$SUBJECT" -T forwardatt \$SENDMAIL -f "\$MAILTO"\`
Take a look at the mailbot manpage if you want to know exactly what it
does. In particular, the '-d' option creates a database of email
addresses that prevents the autoreply from being sent to the same
address more than once per day. The '-T forwardatt' option sends the
original message back as an attachment.
I do something similar with my email when I go on vacation. In
addition, I wrap it with a test that looks for spam, list mail, and bulk
mail headers and does not respond to those.
If you are interested, it looks like this:
if (! (/^X-Spam-Flag: YES/ || /^List-id:/ || /^Precedence: bulk/ ||
/^Precedence: junk/) )
{
#send autoreply#
}
