Customize .vacation.msg to include subject, sender, etc?
I'm using 'vacation' as an autoresponder, but can't seem to customize .vacation.msg to include the subject, sender, recipient, etc. Is there a way to do this? If not, is there a better autoresponder I can use? I realize I could write one myself, but I'd prefer to use an existing solution. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

IIRC, .vacation.msg should live in each user's home directory. .forward is responsible for actually enabling 'vacation' for any particular user. The format for including the subject and sender, at least, is simply: From: Alfred E. Neuman aeneu...@mycompany.com Subject: Out of Office at the top of .vacation.msg.

Re: Customize .vacation.msg to include subject, sender, etc?
Woops, that's not quite what I meant, sorry. I meant something like:
From: some...@somewhere
Subject: Re: {subject of message you sent}
Dear {email address of person who sent message},
You recently sent an email to {to address of messages}...
and so on. I realize the to address is often fixed, but I'm doing this
in virtusertable/aliases as:
@foo.com autoreply
autoreply: |/usr/bin/vacation ...
so the to address might be a...@foo.com for one message,
x...@foo.com for another message, etc.
In other words, a true autoresponder.

Hmmm, procmail might be able to do that with the right recipe.
