Create a file in your home directory named help which says:

We offer you help.
Mail to help@yourdomain.com will return the message "We offer you help".

Infobot files should not have upper case letters in them. Incoming mail addresses are normalized to lower case before the infobot directory(ies) is searched.

PowerMail is configured through a text file which you may place in your home directory, called .soprc. If this file is not present, the default behaviour corresponds to a .soprc like so:

BounceFile .redirect
InfobotDir .

Please note that the above two directives are not defaults! A blank .soprc is not the same as a non-existent one. If you create a .soprc with no BounceFile directive, for example, .redirect will not be checked. Think of that .soprc as a default in the absence of anything else, not of those two directives individually as defaults. Use the above as a starting point for any .soprc you make.

Most people don't need to create a .soprc or read the following because that default is meant to be the most useful configuration.

navneet@canwebhosting.com

will redirect mail originally sent to navneet@yourdomain.com to navneet@canwebhosting.com.
And the line:

support tech@canwebhosting.com admin@canwebhosting.com

will redirect mail for that alias to the two addresses given.

InfobotDir specifies a directory to search for infobot data files. Persons who make use of their Unix accounts may want to make an infobot directory off of their home and specify (in .soprc file)

InfobotDir infobot

People who don't have any other particular clutter in their home directories can get by with

InfobotDir ~

which is also the default if no InfobotDir directive at all appears.

InfobotExt specifies extensions to use for infobots. The lack of this directive is equal to

InfobotExt "" .txt

Consider mail coming in for info@yourdomain.com. In this case, files named simply info will be sought out in the InfobotDir specified directories. If you had the line

InfobotExt .txt

in your .soprc, info would not be used, but info.txt would. If you had

InfobotExt .txt .html
both info.txt and info.html will be used.
In the last example, if both info.txt and info.html were found, both would be mailed in turn. This could be useful, or harmful. Look for more control in future versions of PowerMail.

InfobotExt may be specified more than once, or multiple extensions may be given on one line. In the absence of any InfobotExt line, first no extension is added to the mail address that comes in, then .txt is added. In its presence, the mail address without modification is
