Re: autoresponding to Yahoo DMARC breakage

This highly effective trick was in the procmail example vacation script in
1991, and doubtless goes back much farther than that.  It's a little
dismaying to hear that there are still people writing autoresponders who
don't know about it.

what is procmail?

The scriptable mail delivery agent that most Unix-ish systems use to sort mail at delivery time. It's a marvel of robust programming, no updates since 2001 but still works great.
