MailResponder

A user tool for setting up auto-replies and message fowarding from Microsoft Windows client PCs that are networked to a GNU/Linux or FreeBSD mail server.

Overview

Mailresponder allows users to manage their own auto-replies and mail forwarding via an easy to use graphical user interface. It relives the systems administrator from having to perform the task manually.

Mailresponder comprises a client-side GUI application for configuring server-side email auto-repling and message forwarding on a Linux mail file server.

The current mailresponder package includes Procmail server-side scripts and a Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP client application.
