Didi you "initiate" so that the databse will be built...?? Also, while doing this you must be logged in as that user. Further, unless you reset the default, it will ignore any email address repeats within a certain time span to prevent loops... forgotten how long, but "man vacation(1)" covers all of this...

Email Auto-responders with Vacation
Hi, I'm trying to get an email auto-responder working using vacation, but have hit a bit of a wall. I have the .forward file in the user's home directory containing: \mikew, "|/usr/bin/vacation -r 1 mikew" (Where mikew is the login for this user) I have a .vacation.msg file available in the same directory, and have also verified the path /usr/bin/vacation is correct. But no vacation message... =/ Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Regards, Ben Craig. __ Do You Yahoo!?
