I am pretty new to perl, so forgive me if I drool on the floor any. I want to write a program to do what vacation does, but less flaky. It must be used in similar fashion; that is, in an alias or .forward file.

ailiasname:recipient,"|/path/programname /path/username/msg"

so it has to receive the incoming copy of the mail, and also accept command line inout of the other critical information, which is where the pre-prepared message is at, and it's name. WE ASSUME sendmail will be at the standard location, a dangerous idea; we may also include a .cf file so it will referr to the smtp agent by name and clan(path).

Feel free to reply to me via email.
