    Hey,

    I was wondering if this was possible.

    Using CRON and mail script of some sort are you able to send out a delayed auto responder that autorespondes when a message comes in 10 min later.

    Also along with this are we able to send a followup email later on in the future using CRON? I heard of some people speaking of this and I was just not sure if i fully understood them.

    Or would you just have to build a list for this to work? Or is there another solution that I am currently not aware of.

    Thanks and help would be appreciated,

    Siekk :)

    Steps:
    1. Create a script that sends the autorespond email
    2. Redirect incoming emails to another script that processes the incoming mail and creates a CRON job that executes the script in step 1.
