Does anyone have an automatic mail acknowledgement program that works
on a UNIXpc?  I know these things exist; I've received messages from
them.  The idea is that when you go away on vacation (f'rinstance),
you activate something which will then automatically reply to mail
messages as they are received, telling the sender that their message
was received, etc.  I can imagine doing this with a shell script or C
program, but I thought I'd interrogate the net before hacking such a
thing together myself.

If you've got such a thing and are at liberty to distribute it, why
not post it to unix-pc.sources?  Thanks to all,
								Brant

P.S. To correct a piece of misinformation I just saw: to perform
anonymous Internet FTP, you ftp <site> then login as "anonymous".  The
password is usually any non-null string, or sometimes "guest".  Don't
forget to use binary mode when transferring executable files. -b
