I would like to make an autoresponder in Perl on a UNIX server. Any
ideas tips about doing that? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank
you.

Alternatively, sendmail lets you put a file called
'.forward' in your home directory. In that file,
you can put the following:

|/path/to/foo

'foo' would be your autoresponder, and will
receive your email messages as STDIN.
In either case, procmail or sendmail,
your Perl program can use Mail::Sendmail
or whatever mail module to easily send mail.

the only problem with that is most mail admins use /bin/false as
the shell for the users account (unless they need a shell);
nothing like the above will work unless you have a valid shell.
how do you get around that?
