in reply to Setup problem

Well the 1st thing you should do is abandon AlphaMail. The 2nd thing you should do is visit http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/ and grab yourself a copy of TFmail. After that you gotta read/configure TFmail and it will do what you want.

For future reference:

    TFmail is definitely higher quality code. But are you sure it has the auto-reply feature the poster wants? I couldn't find that feature just now.
      *Yawn* I said After that you gotta read/configure TFmail and it will do what you want. Do I have to be sure? Could you have made sure?
      confirmation_template - If this field is set then it must be the name of an email template that will be u +sed to send a mail back to the user confirmi +ng their submission. CAUTION: since the us +er could give any email address (not just t +heir own) and submit repeatedly, there is a r +isk that some nasty person will use this to mailb +omb a third party. Only switch this on if y +ou really need it. Template directives tha +t depend on user input will be disabled fo +r this template, so that this feature can't be +used to send SPAM. Default: no confirmation ema +il.
