I do have canned reseponses (alternate sigs) in both english and dutch.
I use them a lot, both of them. I tried to word them to
- discourage students asking for homework solutions and hobbyists asking
me to do their work
- yet not discourage potential clients who are searching for someone to
do (payed!) work for them

Strange but true, reading a first mail I sometimes not decide which of
teh above categories applies.
