Hi guys,

Why Freebsd built-in vacation program (/usr/bin/vacation) does not auto rep=
ly?

I am using fresh installed Freebsd7.0 and 7.1. here is my configs.

Under the home directory of the user (alydio.mc)

.forward
=A0=A0=A0 \alydio.mc, "|/usr/bin/vacation alydio.mc"

.vacation.msg
=A0=A0 Subject: On vacation message
=A0=A0 From: alydio.mc@mydomain.com
=A0=A0 I'm on vacation and will not be reading my mail for a while.
=A0 Your mail will be dealt with when I return.
.
from postfix/sendmail logs:

...sniff
=A0(delivered to command: /usr/bin/vacation alydio.mc)

after this nothing will happened... no errors.... no warnings...=A0=20

However the one I installed from ports (/usr/local/bin/vacation) works fine=
.


I want to use the freebsd base vacation program.=A0=20

Please help.

Thank you,
alydiomc=0A=0A=0A
