Hi,

I've just set up a maildrop filter "rule" to auto-respond to qsecretary notices as follows:

if ( /^From: \"The qsecretary program\" <!list-.*-notbulkmail.*!>/ ) { exception { log "Matched qsecretary notice: ${MATCH2}" to "!${MATCH2}" } }

Essentially, what this does is to check the header for a from line containing the specified pattern which is stored in the variable $MATCH2.

The message is then sent back to itself, i.e. delivered to the From address.

Can anyone see any potential problems with this approach? Is it likely to cause any problems for any other users?

Thanks,

R.
