Scott, let me restate the situation. I might not have been clear in my previous plea for help :)
Yes, I'm aware that vacation will not send you a duplicate email... thats not what I mean... I've disabled the vacation script and re-enabled it several times so it would reset it. The example I gave below shows the use of the address parameter to the vacation function. According to the RFC tho this is an optional parameter, and if this parameter is left off then it will just automagically use the To: address for the From: field (if I haven't read anything incorrectly) When I attempt to do something like this: require "vacation"; vacation :days 1 text: **AUTOGENERATED MESSAGE** Test!!! I get no errors, but the script does not seem to function at all either. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott M Likens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mike Grommet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 12:31 AM Subject: Re: vacation script with optional(??) address parameter > Mike, you do realize that the Vacation script only replies once. > > It will not reply multiple times to the same address.
