vacation calls
/var/qmail/bin/datemail -t
which in turns calls qmail-inject.
vaction always exits with a zero, regardless of what happens. That's
why you see the success messages.
I am planning on a new release of vacation to fix these and other
subtle (and not so subtle) problems. I have no release date yet (I
have lots of other things on - not the least of which is the final
prepration for my wedding in just over 5 weeks). If you're all very
lucky, I'll have it released before then - otherwise you'll have to
wait till next year.
