Today at 4:17pm, Paul Thomason expounded: ++ So I have this nice little application which creates a .procmailrc file ++ to autorespond to email sent to that users email account. Problem is, ++ the way its set up, it replies to each instance of email from that user. ++ ++ Does anyone know how I amend the recipe to send the autoresponse to each ++ sender only once? ++ Then, for each subsequent message they send, no automatic message is ++ sent?
This rule keeps a list of the n most recent message ids. So if a single message is sent to several mailing lists, I only get one copy. (E.g., if you reply to this and send your reply to me and siglinux, I only see one copy.) :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 16384 msgid.cache If you use the -r flag (in addition to the -D flag), then it does the same thing, but for the sender's email address instead of the message id. I also suggest you look in the procmailex (5) man page. Actually, I think the vacation autoresponder example could be adapted nicely to do what you want.
