And for those of us who aren't fully "fluent" in exim filters, what would
the filter look like? Is it as simple as

    vacation 


or should it be

    if personal then vacation 


or should it be "something else" (if so, what???)?

Does the 'once' option on the vacation command automatically create the
data bases or does it need to be created manually?
