Autoreply question - procmailrc, formail, & sendmail

    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to set up an autoreply to not only reply to the recipient, but BCC someone else as well.

    Currently, it simply sends back a reply (as obviously autoreplies are meant to do)

    the .procmailrc file for user 'n' is as follows: 
    :0 h
* !^From: .*autoresp
* !^From: .*userN@blah.blah
{
 :0 c
 | (formail -r ; echo "`/dirName/auto.reply.userN`") | sendmail -oi -t
}

    I'm pretty sure that I need to amend something to the 'formail' segment of the above script or add another line after it with formail inctercepting the "Reply-To" and altering it to the other recipient's mail address, or something. I'm not really sure.

    Anyone got any (better?) ideas/suggestions on this?

    For reference, the auto.reply.userN file is just a plain text file of the format: 
    cat << EOF

Blah Blah message here

Insert Signature Here

*************
This email, its contents and any files attached are intended only for the
named addressee/addressees etc etc

EOF


    [edit]
    Never mind. If you use the -A flag in formail you can add customised header fields to the mail.

    Eg. formail -r -A"Bcc: userX@blah"

    So the script now looks like:
     
    :0 h
* !^From: .*autoresp
* !^From: .*userN@blah.blah
{
 :0 c
 | (formail -r -A"Bcc: userX@blah"; echo "`/dirName/auto.reply.userN`") | sendmail -oi -t
}
    [/edit]
