This is a single binary package. It's small, lintian and linda clean, I have the blessing of the upstream maintainer, and have filed and ITP ( #292667 ).
At first glance autoreply looks very much like just another vacation clone, but it takes the behavior of vacation and takes it to another lever. The notable differences between autoreply and vacation are:
* As opposed to vacation that is per-user replys, autoreply can
reply with many different messages via a procmail recipe
* It remembers who it has replied to recently, and won't reply to
them again within a specified interval
* It has a list of addresses that it will not respond to
(MAILER-DAEMON, majordomo, listserv, etc)
* It examines headers, checking them for mailing lists, and does not
reply if it determines the mail is from a mailing list
* In case these features are insufficient autoreply also has a rate
limiter so that it will not send more than a specified amount of
replies in a given time. The rate and interval are both
configurable.Hopefully someone will sponsor me, but if not, I would really appreciate feedback on crafting a better RFS.
Thank you.
