automatic replay to an user mail

Hello Experts!!..

We have a server with Redhat Enterprise 3.0 with sendmail+MailScanner running. We have a user named s.garzon. what i want to do is to reply, automatically, any message from capipuer@telecartagena.com to this user with a message i want they to receive. I guess this can be done putting a .procmailrc file in the user directory but i don't know how to do it. Can somebody tell me how to do it??..

P.D.: the messages must be received, i just want to reply them.

Thanx

RBrayM.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you trying to replace any message sent from capipuer@telecaragena.com to s.garzon with a message of your own? What about the original message? Where should it go?

What you want is probably a procmail script. You may be able to find a sample that accomplishes what you want by doing:

man procmailex

If you can't then be a bit more specific and we'll get you straightened out.

Hello Barry..

The message must be received by s.garzon as normal.. all i want to do is trigger a reply message to capipuer@telecaragena.com when they sent a message to this user, saying that must sent that message to other user. Just that.

How can i do this??

Thanx

Thanks.. Barry.. It worked but i had to add .* in the beggining and the end of capipuer.. and s.garz.... addresses, 'cause i was getting NO MATCH error in procmail.log.

Just another question, if i want to change the FROM header in the message that is sent back to capipuer (with the text file).. how can i do this??

Thanx

You can do that by using sendmail instead of the mail utility. Try "man sendmail" and check out the -f and -r flags.
