To develop a procmail recipe that will: * Look for a list of certain trigger words in the body of each incoming message (the trigger words should be configurable); * If one of those trigger words exist, then check a cache file to see if the recipient of the message has already recieved the message; * If so, then deliver the message normally; * If they have not received the message, then send the recipient an auto-response message (configurable via a .txt file), and add them to the cache file, and then deliver the message normally. For extra points (in order of importance): * The message should be delivered with a priority flag set (e.g., High priority) * The length of time that recipients are in the cache file for should be configurable / adjustable * The response message should display the trigger word that was found in the message ## Deliverables In addition to the usual stuff (below), the procmail recipe should follow the usual best practices for ensuring that: * Messages don't end up in people's junk folders (as much as possible) * Messages don't end up causing an auto-responder loop * Message don't reply to themselves 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows?
