In keeping with the terminology of rfc822, the "generated-by" field could be simply the "agent" field; which would express the nature of the sender (person, system, or process): Sender: Autoreply%umass.bitnet@wiscvm.arpa Agent: process The only difficulties with this is that the "sender" and/or "from" fields must be valid addresses by rfc822, and not all sites allow servers to recieve mail; and also that any additional comments on the sender (such as version, etc) would have to be included as comments (). - John Curran - Umass/Amherst
