#
#   Description
#
#       When I'm on remote site and I don't seem to get throught
#       with telnet or even with Unix ping(1), I want to know if the
#       at least the mail server is up. I can send a ping message and the
#       auto responder will reply immediately.
#
#       Sometimes, when you send a message to a person, it would be nice,
#       if you could test that the destination address is valid, before
#       sending a message to a black hole. If the receiver had ping
#       service running; like this, then you would know that you spelled the
#       the right address. (after wondering two weeks; why you don't get
#       response). Nowadays `finger(1)' command seems to be blocked many times.
#
#       This recipe answers to simple ping message like this:
#
#           To: you@site.com
#           Subject: ping
#
#       Recipe sends a short message back to the sender.
#
#   Required settings
#
#       PMSRC must point to source directory of procmail code. This subroutine
#       will include
#
#       o   pm-javar.rc
#       o   pm-jastore.rc
