Something I did leave off my original email. We used to have a mailbox auto
responder perl script in place that had an email alias piped to the script
with the following line in the /etc/aliases
alias: "|/location/to/perlscript.pl /location/to/responder.txt"
So basically, this perl script would take the senders address, process it
into an email, take the responder.txt, put it into the body, and send out
the email.
Problem is, this system isn't in place any more, and there isn't a backup
of the old script I can even check up to see how it pulled the data into
the script.
