i know sendmail has the vacation program, but i would like to do some
kind of auto responder at our mail 'hub', which has no accounts just
a bunch of aliases that point to leaf servers. since the vacation
program seemingly relies on a $HOME to store the vacation message
and there doesn't seem to be a flag to direct it elsewhere, is there
another way to generate auto responses? I suppose i could get one
Have a look at Procmail and Procmail-lib. Procmail-lib has 'recipes'
specifically for autoresponding the you can modify to suit your needs.
