Subject: automatic bouncing with pine?

Hello,

is there anybody who knows about the possibility of automatic
mail bouncing, may be triggered by a special dot-file.

an example should explain what I mean:

if someone is on vacation and leaves his machine running, the mailer
should be able to send the mails back to the sender with a short reply why 
the mail was sent back. I know that this is possible on sgi's, but I 
don't know how to enable this behaviour. 

So while I'm writing, I am not very shure, if this question belongs realy
into the pine group. But perhaps somebody of you know an answer.
thanks

btw: I'm working on a Linux box...

I posted that question a few weeks ago ('autoreply'), because i know that 
ELM has a feature like this. Ask your admin if there's a feature like 
'vacation' (or try 'vacation' or 'man vacation' at your system prompt) - 
PINE itself does not support that feature!

bye.

Other than the Unix 'vacation' program, mail-filters such as procmail 
could also be used. See also
