Re: Mail Bot?
Uh, am I missing something here? Isn't there a file (or NIS map) on the
system called "aliases"? How about adding a line in the aliases file/map
that redirects mail to the dummy users to whatever you want (e.g. vacation,
bash script, perl script, whatever...)? I'm no expert, but I think
something like the following:
info: dummy_user
oi: dummy_user
fill_in_the_blank: dummy_user
dummy_user: |/usr/local/bin/reply.pl
or
dummy_user: |/usr/bin/vacation postmaster
should do it.
Are we overlooking the obvious, or am I not understanding the question?
