Here is a part of my .procmailrc file, which is responsible for
autoreplying:
# autoreply :0 Whc: autoreply.lock
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| formail -rD 8192 vacation.cache
:0 ehc # if the name was not in the cache
| (formail -rA"Precedence: junk" \
-A"X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" ; \
cat ~/.plan \
) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
It is rather good - it checks the sender before replying - if someone
sends 10 letters, he will not receive 10 replies, but only one.
hope this helps
