Hi All
I am having lots of trouble getting vacation to work, I have setup vacation
in users .forward file as shown below. When mail is sent to the users no
vacation response is sent back. However an entry is added to .vacation.log
indicating that a response was sent.
I have checked the queue and nothing is queued for delivery so I do not
understand why it is doing this ?
I have been struggling to get vacation to work for nearly a week now and
could really do with some help, I am clean out of ideas and any help would
be very gratefully appreciated.
I have supplied some information below, if anything else is needed to try
and solve this problem then please ask and I will post it up.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

I am using the following forward file:
#Exim filter
unseen save $home/Backup/
unseen vacation to $reply_address
subject "<VACATION> Re: $h_subject:"
from $local_part@$domain
expand file $home/.vacation.msg
exim is running on a redhat 7.3 system which did not have the vacation
program installed by default - I was not sure if it is required for the
vacation command to work properly so I installed the vacation app for
linux from sourceforge:
http://vacation.sourceforge.net/
I also added a symbolic link to it from /usr/ucb/vacation.
The forward router that I am using is as follows:
# UserForward check
userforward:
driver = redirect
allow_filter
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
no_verify
no_expn
directory_transport = address_directory
skip_syntax_errors
syntax_errors_to = $local_part@$domain
syntax_errors_text = \
This is an automatically generated message. An error has\n\
been found in your .forward file. Details of the error are\n\
reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\
a copy of this message for every message that is addressed\n\
to you. If your .forward file is a filter file, or if it is\n\
a non-filter file containing no valid forwarding addresses,\n\
a copy of each incoming message will be put in your normal\n\
mailbox. If a non-filter file contains at least one valid\n\
forwarding address, forwarding to the valid addresses will\n\
happen, and those will be the only deliveries that occur.
