Is it possible to have a Perl or C program automatically read incoming mail (and respond to it) that is sent to a specific mail address within my domain?

What you are seeking is 'qmail-command' methods...

At the SSH/Telnet prompt, just type:
$man qmail-command

Read it carefully, as it is very potent capability...

Yep that should do it. Thanks

If you (or someone else in this forum) could post a safe example, it would save me some stupid mistakes, I'm sure.

Stan-

I'm in the same boat as you, looking for a smarter autoresponder. If I make one, or find one of suitable capability, I'll let you know..

Let me know if you find one, ok? http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Although this week I'll be mostly offline, so you'll finish first I'm afraid http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif
