How to create an Auto Reponse Script Print

  • 0


This article describes how to create an auto response script for use in MDaemon.


Auto Response scripts define the messages that are returned as the result of an auto-response event. They are constructed the same as MBF files and can contain the same macros. However, several additional macros are provided which allow you to develop more powerful auto-response messages.


To create a Auto Response Script:


  1. Open Notepad.
  2. Type a greeting.
  3. Example: ( Greetings $SENDER$ ).
  4. Type a Message.
    Example:  Thanks for contacting me $SENDER$ about $SUBJECT$, sorry I will not be available to reply until 12/31/2005.
    Yours truly.
    $RECIPIENT$.
  5. Type a Subject line.
    %SUBJECT%=RE: $SUBJECT$.
  6. Save file as name.rsp, this file needs to be saved in your MDaemon\App directory.


In addition to those template variables defined for MBF files, auto-response scripts can use any or all of the following macros, which override the values parsed from the original message:


%SetSender%        


ex: %SetSender%=mailbox@host.org


MDaemon will treat this address as if it had sent the original message.


%SetRecipient%     


ex: %SetRecipient%=mailbox@host.org


Sets the address that will receive the auto-response message, regardless of the original sender.


%SetReplyTo%


ex: %SetReplyTo%=mailbox@host.org


Controls the value of the RFC-822 ReplyTo header     


%SetActualTo%      


ex: %SetActualTo%=mailbox@host.org


Changes who is the  “actual” recipient of the mail message.


%SetSubject%


ex: %SetSubject%=Subject Text


Replaces the value of the message’s subject. 


%SetMessageId%


ex: %SetMessageId%=ID String


Changes the ID string of the message.


%SetPartBoundary%


ex: %SetPartBoundary%=Boundary String


Changes the part boundary.


%SetContentType%


ex: %SetContentType%=MIME type


Changes the content-type of the message.


%SetAttachment%


ex: %SetAttachment%=filespec


Forces MDaemon to attach the specified file to the newly generated auto-response message.
