This is rather easy to do (in a simple minded way, e.g. all mail to "tech@xxxx" gets the same response) with the procmail and formail utility programs, available on nearly any Unix, including FreeBSD. With additional scripting, the autoresponse might be tailored to keywords in the mail's subject line, and the mail possibly be routed to different tech support people. This is not "out of the box" behavior, though. "Some assembly required." Dave -- Sancho Panza: `Microsoft Windows NT Server is the most secure network operating system available.'
