Case Study: Auto File Responder

Modify delivery process ( libexec/distribute ) to send back /some/where/help file. For example, when a user can send anything to help@fml.org, fml sends back the help file to the sender.

In this case, set the following at config.cf

article_post_restrictions = permit_anyone

and define the following hook after =cut line.

$distribute_run_start_hook = q{

        $curproc->reply_message( {
                type        => "text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp",
                path        => "/some/where/help",
                filename    => "help",
                disposition => "help example",
        });

	$curproc->stop_this_process();

};

The last

$curproc->stop_this_process();

method of fml8 corresponds to the statement

$DO_NOTHING = 1;

of fml4. After this statement, the normal processing stops.
