I have the .forward file in the user's home directory containing: \mikew, "|/usr/bin/vacation -r 1 mikew" (Where mikew is the login for this user) I have a .vacation.msg file available in the same directory, and have also verified the path /usr/bin/vacation is correct. But no vacation message... =/ Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Regards, Ben Craig. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
