It will be process shortly. Thanks." This is an MUA "problem" -- not something that should ever be dealt with in any way whatsoever by the mail transport and delivery mechanisms. Actually what your user is asking for is not something that should ever be done in the first place. I.e. never implement automated tools that can reply to messages without building in and carefully testing significant safeguards. Reliable tools that do reply automatically to mail will only send one reply per week or so to a given address because to do otherwise invites abuse and allows for denial of service attacks. Teach your users to use e-mail responsibly. -- Greg A.
