How do we activate the Autoresponder?

You will use procmail to do your autoresponding.

Create a plain text file in your home directory called:

.procmailrc

Make sure it starts with a period and has no extention such as ".txt". If you create the file offline, it will need to be uploaded in text or ASCII mode. The contents of the file should look like this:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=$HOME/mail/INBOX
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog
VERBOSE=no
