Set the time to either 8h or 10h, this should get a message to each
sender once per day, in business hours anyway ;)

But here again, when should the 'day' begin? At 7:00 AM local time,
8:00 AM local time?

You could also just set a cron job that runs at say 5:00 or 6:00 AM
local time and deletes the vacation DB's from the users directories,
or where ever it is that you keep them. Then you can keep the more
stnadard 24h for once repeat.
