FYI, I just wrote an autoresponder. It allows you to use a template file to fill in names, addresses, etc. No cron job needed to clean the database.

Then again, TMDA is the best spam reduction system I know of, so installing it may be worthwhile in and of itself. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
