Be warned, this is an autoresponder designed to respond to ANYTHING (well, it has some checks against responding to mailing lists and the like). It is there purely to provide an "We have received your query and one of our team of highly-trained monkeys will deal with it shortly." For that purpose it is reasonably adequate. Do NOT use it for vacation messages. If it encounters somebody else also using some other braindead vacation responder then it will rapidly generate zillions of mails. The autoresponder that comes with maildrop is a lot more flexible and can be told not to repeat the response to the seme sender within a specified period of time, so it can be used for vacation messages as well as ordinary autoresponders. When used with maildrop itself, you can then set conditions on if it should respond or not, useful when you have something like sales@ being aliased to user1@, user2@, etc. So you'd have a filter that did not invoke the responder if the mail was sent to sales@ but would invoke the responder if the mail was sent directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > I want use this tools but to do autorespond in html format. You would have to modify it to insert the appropriate MIME header and then format the content accordingly. Look at the MIME RFCs for further details. You would probably also want to add a switch to turn the MIME header on and off so it can also be used for plain text messages. You would probably also want to pass the HTML through lynx with appropriate options to generate alternative plain text for those whose mailers cannot handle HTML. And then you need to buy some protective clothing for when all those who HATE mail with HTML in it go after you with cluebats... -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
