Hi,
Im trying to use the vacation program to set up an autoresponder. First I
did "vacation -i", and it created ~/.vacation.db (64KB). The home directory
is 0755. I created the following .vacation.msg, 0644:
From: thierry@domain.com
Subject: Out of the office
Out of the office.
Then in /etc/mail/aliases I put
thierry: "|/usr/bin/vacation thierry", thierry
I still get messages delivered to me, but the vacation program does not want
to work:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/bin/vacation thierry"
(reason: data format error)
(expanded from: <thierry@domain.com>)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
vacation: .vacation: Permission denied
501 5.6.0 Data format error
Whats with ".vacation: permission denied"? Is .vacation supposed to exist?
I could not find any reference to this.
My maillog shows basically the same thing as above.
Im using sendmail plus cyrus for lacal delivery.
thierry
