== Autoresponders ==


The following covers how to use Procmail to do your autoresponding.

Create a plain text file in your home directory called:

.procmailrc

Make sure it starts with a period and has no extention such as ".txt". If you create the file offline, it will need to be uploaded in text or ASCII mode. The contents of the file should look like this:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail/yourdomain.com
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
VERBOSE=no
COMSAT=no

#
# A Sample autoresponder to send info when someone sends a message to
# info@yourdomain.com
#
# Create a file in your home directory called emailinfo.txt
# put what you want sent out in there.
#


:0
* ^To:.*info@yourdomain.com
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: info@yourdomain.com
{
        :0 h c
        | (formail -t -r -A"X-Loop: info@yourdomain.com " ; \
        cat $HOME/emailinfo.txt ) | \
        /usr/bin/sendmail -t

#
# And send a copy to me too!
#

        :0 
        !someoneelse@anotherdomain.com

}
