Dear All,
I need your help to configure redhat 8.0 - sendmail 8.12.5.7 to autoreply.
I tried to use procmail but I could not success.
I would like you help me with information of approach and steps to configure procmail or other way for autoreplying.Thank you in advance,
Nagy
What sort of auto-reply are you looking for? A message that is sent back for a disabled or non-existant user? Look at /etc/mail/access for that. A vacation notice? That would be handled with a different piece of software.

Not every site has or chooses to have procmail installed. vacation is a very tiny binary, normally found on most unix hosts that users can invoke easily. Personally, I like procmail. If you want to filter inbound mail, look for a package called 'spast' that works in conjuction with procmail.

Sendmail should be configured to enable "real time black list". I think they recently renamed the option but a look through the readme should cross reference it. What the option does is check the address of the incoming mail against a public list of spammers and deny deliver if it matches. That is a good start. Next, procmail is good at keeping out executable windows attachments. If you have procmail, add in spastic
http://spastic.sourceforge.net/You could also routinely look at the senders addresses and add them to your exlusion list in /etc/mail/access
http://www.spamcom.net is great fun. If you get a spam message, copy the whole message, headers and all and let them process it. They trace back to who is actually reposnsible, not the forged lie you often see and log them as a spammer.
