If you're trying to send a vacation message, your MTA is the wrong place to do it. If you're having this much trouble, I'd *strongly* recommend you *not* set up an autoresponder of *any* kind. They're all sorts of trouble (I know, I've set them up, and burned myself for it). If you want to spend the week or two it takes to start understanding procmail (and the month or two it takes to stop shooting yourself in the foot with it), there are a number of procmail filters and recipies available (most of which aim large caliber tactical nukes at your feet, so I *won't* recommend any of them). It is possible to set up a vacation message, it's unfortunately a rather nontrivial task. Getting it wrong can turn you into an annoyance for a great many people, get you kicked off of mailing lists, put you into hot water with your ISP, and possibly cost you your network connection (again, I speak from experience). Take your vacation, and deal with your email when you return. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
