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.
