_A_u_t_o_r_e_p_l_y is a part of TTTThhhheeee EEEEllllmmmm MMMMaaaaiiiillll SSSSyyyysssstttteeeemmmm and is designed
to enable users to easily set up an automatic response to
all mail they receive. This is typically during a vacation
or some other period of time that the user is not available
to reply to mail (although some people get enough mail that
they have it permanently running to simply send an "ack" to
each message)
The system is quite easy to use... You can type "autoreply"
and be informed of your current status in the system (on or
off), or "autoreply off" will turn your autoreplying off.
To add yourself to the system, you need merely to compose a
form response in a file somewhere, then type "autoreply
_f_i_l_e" where _f_i_l_e is the name of the file.

For this to function correctly, the program "arepdaemon"
must be running as a daemon in background. This program
automatically checks all the currently enrolled users for
new mail in their mailboxes...

Unfortunately, this program isn't too brilliant about
identifying mail that shouldn't be responded to (like mail
from other daemons, or your mother) but that's a more
general problem anyway.
Also, occasionally a user will remove themselves from the
autoreply system and the system won't turn their autoreply
off. This is a problem that hasn't been solved yet
(obviously since it's in the "bugs" section!!) and any
further information would be appreciated!
