Hi,
We have 6.1 RedHat mail server; could you please, inform me about how could I activate and put the right settings for the ?auto reply? facility. I?m using sendmail & POP3 to manage my mail.

Thanks

First install "vacation" (go to freshmeat.net, enter vacation to the searchbox and pick your favourite) if you dont have it allready. Then setup your .forward file (unique to each user, stored in ~) to pass everything that comes to that vacation program. For example, here's what your .forward mind look lile:

"|exec /path/to/vacation"

If you want something more nicer, you could get to know how to do filtering with procmail.
