I would like to have a address save a copy of incoming mail but
automatically bounce back a standard text file to anyone who sends mail
to that address.

.forward: "| /usr/local/bin/filter -o problems"

.elm/filter-rules: if (not from = "jamesd") then executec "reply %S %r"

reply: elm -s "$1" $2 </home/users/me/somefile

.elm/filterlog below:

Mail from testuser about Testing
	EXECUTED "reply "Re: Testing" testuser" AND PUT in mailbox by rule #1

"testuser" never sees a reply, although it looks like it should.

Can somebody help?

Thanks!
