assuming vacation is
https://www.unix.com/man-page/all/1/vacation/
it relies on .forward processing to operate so the transport for your
mail must in all cases include .forward processing.
also vacation checks the to header and does not respond if it thinks
the email was not addressed to you - this prevents messing up mailing
lists and the like.
you many need to add somethig like
-a mymailbox@???
to the vacation command-line in your .forward file
