What's probably happening is that the maildir delivery succeeds, but
the vacation delivery returned 111 (temporary failure). Each time the
delivery is retried, another copy is delivered to the maildir.
If you separate the vacation delivery to another .qmail file, e.g. in
.qmail:
./Maildir
multics-vacation
and in .qmail-vacation:
|/usr/local/bin/vacation multics
Then only the vacation deliveries will be retried.
Of course, you still need to figure out why the vacation deliveries
are failing.
