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?
