We use a perl script,
sits in /mail/auto/ with a symlink to /etc/smrsh/
/etc/aliases has this:
info: "|/mail/auto/autoreply data/info.reply"
where "info" is the alias and "info.reply" is the text file which sits in
/mail/auto/data/
<<<<<<<<<
#!/usr/bin/perl
unless ($ARGV[0]) {
open (OUT, "!/usr/bin.mail -s 'MailRobot error!' postmaster");
print OUT "Whoops! The MailRobot has gone loco!\n\n\n";
close OUT;
exit 1;
}
$mailfile = "\/mail\/auto\/$ARGV[0]";
while(<STDIN>) {
if (s/^From: //) {
s/[\012\015]|^ *//g; #Remove all CR and LF
$to = $_;
open (OUT, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t");
open (IN, $mailfile );
#Read and display FROM line
$_ = <IN>;
print OUT $_;
print OUT "To: $to\n";
while (<IN>) { print OUT $_; }
close IN;
close OUT;
}
}
exit 0;
